Due to a high number of no-shows and last-minute cancellations in our previous workshops, we had to start requiring a credit card to all agencies to guarantee their commitment, even if they are not staying at the hotel.
We need it as a guarantee of your attendance at the event as we inform to all international institutions about your participation and we print materials and book all the lunches and networking cocktail counting on the attendance of those agencies.
We only charge the penalty fee on the card in case there is a no show at the event, otherwise, we won’t charge any fee.
