I have special invoice requirements

During the registration process, please leave your requirements (tax number, purchase order number ...) in the comments field!


Can I register an accompanying person?
Yes! Please reply to the automatic registration confirmation email, telling us the name of the person and the requested events. Please note that only the two benchmark excursions and the conference dinner are open for accompanying persons and that they have to pay the same price for these events as regular participants. Please also indicate, if you need a separate invoice for the accompanying person.

    Can I get an invitation letter for my visa application?
    Yes. Please tell us via the comments field or via a reply to the automatic registration confirmation email. Please note, that we will only send you the invitation letter after we have received your payment!

    For the early bird rate: do I need to register or pay before the deadline?
    You will receive the early bird rate, if you register before the deadline (08.08.2021, end of day in Austria). Therefore, the payment can be done later.

    I have registered for remote attendance. How can I upgrade to onsite participation?
    Please send an email to office@silvilaser2021.at, telling us for which parts you want to register (conference days, benchmark excursions 1+2, dinner) and we will send you a second invoice. After we receive the payment, we will change your participation type in the conference platform.
