Compliance with Corona rules for kick off-event
The event will take place in compliance with the currently valid Corona rules according to the Ordinance (see here).
Due to that we only have limited space for onsite participants. Please note that you can attend one of the parallel breakout sessions only as onsite participant. Please only register as onsite participant in case you are willing to come onsite on Sep 27th. In case the event will be overbooked with onsite attendees, we will prioritise " most active" participants (i.e. attending the full event, proposing a pitch and/or engaging in one of the breakout sessions, and 1:1 meetings).
Due to the limited space onsite you will later receive a confirmation of your onsite participation (or will have to change your attendance to virtual participation). A final agenda with the assigned breakout session onsite will be shared with you in advance to the event on Sep 27th (see also our instructions during registration).
We encourage you to use the Corona-Warn-App.
