Speaker’s Expenses

SIOP 2025 will not cover Industry session(s) speaker expenses.

This also applies in the case where the Sponsored Symposium speakers have already been invited by the Conference and have made prior travel arrangements independently.

Technical Rehearsal Onsite

We strongly recommend scheduling a technical rehearsal in the hall itself and testing the Presentations during that rehearsal. Please make arrangements directly with the Conference Audio Visual Coordinator, Mike Perchig at: nest@nest-av.com
A technical rehearsal is offered free of charge; however additional charges may apply, depending on hall availability, rehearsal requirements and overtime of the technicians.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section i_icon_fontawesome=”fas fa-calendar-alt” add_icon=”true” title=”Catering” tab_id=”1669301274945-8de307c3-6856″][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=””]Catering is exclusive to Rai Amsterdam and should be ordered in advance.
