Tips and Tools for a Successful Meeting Experience

Registration fee

All meeting participants, including invited speakers, are required to pay the appropriate registration fees. The earlier you register, the more you save. Meals are not included with registration, but there are daily complimentary coffee breaks.

Accommodations for attendees with disabilities are handled on an individual basis. Contact the meetings team at meetings@electrochem.org immediately if you need assistance.

Permissions granted to SOFC

SOFC reserves the right to electronically record any or all meeting-related events. By registering for and/or attending SOFC, you grant permission to use any recording or photography made of you at any meeting event or anywhere within the meeting venue.

Speaker indemnification

The ideas and opinions expressed in the technical sessions, conferences, and any handout materials provided are those of the presenter. They are not those of the SOFC organizers, nor can any endorsement by SOFC be claimed.

Photography and recording not permitted in technical sessions

By attending an SOFC meeting, you agree not to record any technical session activity without the express written consent of the SOFC organizers. Violators of this policy are removed from the meeting and registrations revoked without possibility of refunds.


Your Meeting Experience

Plan

The best way to come to the meeting feeling prepared? Plan in advance! Check the meeting homepage regularly for new and updated events and information.

Online Program

Once published, add the Online Program to your smartphone’s home screen or bookmark it in the internet browser on any of your devices. View, add, and sync presentations, sessions, and events to create your own custom itinerary.

Dress code

Conference attire is business casual. Session rooms can be chilly, so dress in layers. Given the lengths you must walk, wear comfortable walking shoes.

Stockholm weather in July is typically warm with average temperatures ranging from 75-83°F (24°-28°C). Check the forecast and plan accordingly.

What to bring
  • Business cards: With ample time to network, have enough cards on hand to distribute.
  • Day bag: Between early sessions and evening poster receptions, meeting days are long. Bring a backpack or briefcase to carry any items needed as there are few opportunities during the day to return to your hotel room.
  • Reusable water bottle and coffee mug: Go green!
  • Notebook and pen: Be sure to always have these on hand.
Who to ask

SOFC staff members are easy to identify. Look for a nametag with a “Staff” ribbon. We are always happy to take a moment to answer your questions or listen to feedback. Have a specific question or concern to discuss in advance? Contact meetings@electrochem.org.

Letters of Attendance

Individuals requiring official “Letters of Attendance” should go to the self-help computer in the on-site registration area and complete the necessary form. Letters are emailed within two weeks of the meeting’s end. Contact meetings@electrochem.org with questions regarding letters.

Invoices

Your registration information and invoice are available on your personal computer. Log into your account to access this information. Contact customer.service@electrochem.org with any questions or issues.
