FAQ

Recordings were made in the Mainstage. These can be viewed back. If you're interested in previous editions, you can watch the recorded sessions in the media library.

Every year, photos are taken at the event. As a participant, you will be informed about this when filling out the registration form. As a visitor, you automatically agree that photos will be taken and that they will be publicly published as a recap after the event. If you have any concerns about being visibly featured in a close-up photo, you can discuss this with the organizers and have the photo deleted on the spot by the photographer or their representative. If you prefer not to be visible in a photo, we recommend sitting more towards the center of a large hall. However, the decision on where to sit is entirely up to you.

Photos (and videos) from the event can be found in the media library, as can the most recent version.

Yes, every room/stage in the building is easily accessible for people with disabilities, including wheelchair users. There are two spacious elevators in the building, no thresholds to enter the rooms, and upon request, a designated area can be cleared in the room to ensure a clear view of the stage.

Incidentally, this only concerns the slides (PDF) of speakers who have agreed that their slides/part of their slides may be published.

If we find items that have been left behind we will keep them. Send us a message via the contact form that you have lost something and we will see if it is among the found items.

We are highly conscious of the importance of sustainability for future generations in our daily work at the University of Twente (and TechMed Centre) and during this event. We make efforts to reuse materials from previous editions, minimize the use of materials (such as paper) by relying on digital communication tools whenever possible, offer a live stream for the main stage, and provide partly vegetarian catering. In addition, we will avoid food waste by paying close attention to the number of participants present and if there is anything left over we will distribute it to students current in the TechMed Centre. We strive to avoid having international speakers travel by plane, and the event location itself is energy-neutral. While it is up to the visitors to decide how they travel to Enschede, we encourage them to choose sustainable transportation options.

No, that is something we absolutely do not apply. Each session is organized or coordinated by the organization itself (TechMed Centre - University of Twente). We always prioritize quality content above other interests. Every speaker will add a disclosure slide to their presentation.

Yes, that is possible. We always strive to organize the event as well as possible for the target group (of course within the possible frameworks). You can contact us by filling in the contact form.
