How do registration and login work?

When registering on Banking.Vision , we use ‘magic link’ technology. This means that you fill in the registration form (we only need a few details from you) and then receive a registration link from us. By clicking on it, you confirm that you wish to register. After your confirmation, you will receive a login link and that's it. This means you don't have to remember (another) password, which could be hacked under certain circumstances. The ‘Magic Link’ also ensures a secure and uncomplicated login thanks to multi-factor authentication, for which you only need to enter the e-mail address you used to register.

How does the event registration work?

Are you already a registered user on Banking.Vision? Then all you have to do is log in and click on the registration button on the page of your chosen event. A registration form will open with your personal details already pre-filled. All you then have to do is enter your invoice details and click on ‘Send’. That's it. You are not yet registered as a user on Banking.Vision? Then please register. We only need a little information from you.

Is there a booking confirmation?

Yes, once you have made a binding registration for the event, you will receive a booking confirmation. In the run-up to the event, you will receive a further e-mail with important information for your event, such as the venue and programme (face-to-face event) or access data (online event).

What about breaks and catering at events?

For all-day face-to-face events, we always plan a joint lunch break and, if required, a coffee break. With hot and cold drinks and finger food, your physical well-being is taken care of throughout the day. This is of course not possible for online seminars, but for full-day online events you will have enough time to cater for yourself.

Cancellation of events

We reserve the right to cancel the event due to insufficient demand or number of participants. Cancellations at short notice are also possible for other important reasons for which we are not responsible, such as sudden illness of the speaker or force majeure. Participation fees already paid by you will of course be refunded. You will be informed immediately in the event of cancellation. Further liability and compensation claims arising from the cancellation or change to the event that do not relate to injury to life, limb or health are excluded, unless there is intent or gross negligence on our part. Please note that this also applies to hotel rooms and flight or train tickets booked by you.

What cancellation conditions apply?

The detailed cancellation conditions can be found in § 3 Cancellation of our event conditions.
