Frequently asked questions

Yes, you can submit multiple contributions. Simply repeat the submission process for each individual contribution.

No, we have not set a limit on the number of contributions a participant can submit or be involved in.

No, we cannot guarantee specific time slots for individual contributions.

No, registration is not required to submit a contribution. You only need to register and pay the conference fee after your contribution has been accepted. If you wish to attend the conference independently of whether your submission is accepted, you can also register at any time.

As long as your payment has not been registered and confirmed by us, you can update your registration details by accessing the registration form. After your payment has been confirmed, only the organizers can update your registration details. Contact us at support@ecmtb2026.org in this case.

Visit the webshop where you have purchased your tickets. After logging in (or creating a new account with the same email address you used for your purchase), you can refund your tickets from there.

For refunds requested until the end of the early bird period (30. April 2026), we will refund the full amount paid, minus a processing fee of approx. 2% to cover transaction costs.

We cannot offer refunds for cancellations requested after 30. April 2026.

Yes, we aim to provide childcare services during the conference. To help us gauge demand and make the necessary arrangements, please indicate your interest in childcare when registering. For more details, visit our Childcare Services page.

You can request a formal letter of invitation signed by the organisers using this form.

Please note that we can only issue invitation letters for fully completed and paid registrations — we are unable to create a letter if your registration has not been completed yet. Once your registration is confirmed, a plain letter of participation can be issued at any point.

If you have submitted a contribution in the form of a poster, talk, or minisymposium, we can only explicitly confirm your role in the letter after the acceptance notices have been sent out.
