Please Note:

Barcodes on participants’ badges contain contact information as supplied by the registrant or the agency responsible for the registration process of that participant. We regret that in some cases, as when group registration is completed by a company, we may not be in possession of the full contact details.

In addition, please note that neither Kenes International nor the Organizing Committee is responsible for the content of the information.

Furthermore, in some cases, the participant does not give his permission to transfer his contact details to any other party.

Therefore, although the participant visited your Hub and the name badge was scanned by your barcode reader, we are unable to forward you his contact details.
