DELEGATE REGISTRATION INSTRUCTIONS
Registration and collection of the summit pass and pack by delegates will start from 815am morning on 7
April for the Congress and 9 April for the Masterclass. The programme will start at 9am sharp.
To ensure a quick registration process, a Unique Registration Code (URC) is generated for each delegate.
Please locate your registration code from the confirmation emails sent to you upon successful online
registration. If unsure of your URC, please approach our enquiry counters.
4 The first letter of your registration code indicates the registration counter that you should queue to collect
your conference pass and bag. Please kindly present both your registration code and business card (or any
other identification cards) for our verification. For example, if your registration code is “B12P1”, the first
alphabet of your code is “B”. It means you should present your registration code at the registration counter
with a sign written:
URC STARTING
A-C
If unsure, please kindly approach our friendly staff who will be more than glad to guide you to the correct
registration counter on that day.

Collection of the Summit passes and packages on behalf of other delegates are strictly not allowed.
Reservations of seats are strictly not allowed.
Videography of any sessions during the conference is strictly prohibited. Light photography is allowed
but camera flashes must not be used within the theatre as it will pose as a distraction.
EVENT DRESSCODE
Delegates are expected to be in office attire (at least a long sleeve shirt and long pants for Men,
ties are optional). Please take note that slippers, bermudas, singlets and shirts with offensive
messages are strictly not allowed. The INTASE Management reserves the right to disallow event
admission to any delegates with dressings that are deemed inappropriate by us. A sweater is
optional as the room air-conditioning may be too cold for some.

payment at the designated payment counters during the event. We only accept the Singapore

at the stipulated timings have to arrange their own transport.
