Conference FAQ's

Below are some of the most frequently asked questions about our conferences. If you have any other questions, please contact us.

Are Group Discounts Available?

arrow

Yes — if you're planning to send four or more attendees, please get in touch with our events team to discuss possible group discounts.

Discount availability will depend on remaining space and current bookings, so we encourage you to enquire early.

Email us at sciup@scientificupdate.com to learn more.

Will the venue be accessible for all attendees?

arrow
Yes, we make every effort to select accessible venues for our conferences. However, if you have any specific accessibility requirements, please let us know in advance so we can ensure your needs are fully accommodated.

Will I receive a list of attendees?

arrow

Yes, a delegate list will be available upon arrival at the conference, including the names and organisations of attendees. Please note that, in line with privacy regulations, no contact details will be shared.

Where available, you can also connect with other delegates via the Mobile Conference App for networking and messaging.

Please note: The app may not be available at all conferences.

Is there a poster session?

arrow

While there is no formal poster session, we understand that presenting can be important for some attendees — especially academics.

We provide poster boards for academic attendees only, which will be displayed in the exhibition area and available for viewing during coffee breaks and lunch.

If you're an academic interested in bringing a poster, please contact us in advance to arrange space.  sciup@scientificupdate.com

Is there an exhibition?

arrow
Most of our conferences have a concurrent exhibition for providers of services and technology to process chemists. The exhibition is usually held adjacent to the conference room where we serve all refreshment breaks. All attendees get to visit the exhibition. If you would like to exhibit, please contact us at sciup@scientificupdate.com

What should I wear?

arrow
We suggest casual attire or something comfortable. You do not need to wear a jacket and tie. We suggest you bring a jumper or sweater, as sometimes the meeting rooms can vary in temperature.

Are meals provided?

arrow
The conference will include morning and afternoon coffee breaks and lunch on each day. We also arrange for a conference welcome reception with drinks on the first night of the event.  Please do let us know if you have any special dietary requirements so we can ensure you are catered for.

What venues do you use?

arrow
We usually book a 4 star hotel in an area close to an international airport. You will be sent a link to the venue so you can see what facilities they have eg swimming pool, gym, restaurants etc.

Will I get a certificate of attendance?

arrow
Yes – please ask, we can provide you with one on completion of the event.

What type of people attend?

arrow
Most of our conferences are attended by senior industrial organic chemists. Most have a PhD or a degree and several years experience.

Abstract submission for talk/poster presentation

arrow

We're always looking for industry experts and thought leaders to share their knowledge with a global audience of process chemistry professionals.

If you have valuable insights, cutting-edge research, or practical experience to present, we invite you to submit an abstract for consideration. All proposed talks are reviewed by our scientific committee for relevance and quality.
