Pass Information

To secure accommodation, you must have a Festival pass.
Speakers receive a complimentary Festival pass - this provides access around the Palais and award shows each night, plus any delegate-only content. This is also valid on the Sunday pre-festival for those who have technical checks.
Speakers are welcome to attend the closing party on the Friday night, along with any speaker guests; however, they must purchase a guest day pass for the Friday.
Speakers can pay to upgrade their pass to one of our other delegate passes - you can see these options and prices in your purchased basket section.
For security reasons, everyone needs a pass and to be registered ahead of the Festival - without registering in advance, speakers cannot access the Festival.
We do not offer refunds on passes. If you have a query please approach the Content Operations team who will guide you on your options.

Speaker Guests

For speakers who want guests to attend their talk, we offer a ‘Speaker Guest’ Pass (€495+TVA).

This grants a guest access around the Festival for the full day of the speaker’s talk and the awards show taking place that night. The Speaker Guest Pass can only be purchased for the day of the talk and not any further days. However, you can purchase more than one Speaker Guest Pass per talk. Please email the Content Operations team to help. Key entourage needed for successful delivery of the talk (e.g. technicians) can gain access to the talk. Please contact the Content Operations team to discuss further. Please note, the above are at the discretion of the Content Operations team.
