On Site

Upon arrival at the venue, please go to the Speakers’ registration desk with your registration email confirmation and valid photo ID.

All speakers must be in the room 30 minutes before they are due on stage. This gives us time to properly set up the microphones for you, ensure we have the correct slides, and introduce you to the moderator. If you are unable to do so, please let us know in advance.

AOC 2023 will take place at World Conference Centre, Bonn in Germany.

All presentations will be given in English.

There will be media in the conference room, and as standard we do not operate under the Chatham House Rule. 

If you wish your session to be off record, you will need to announce that as you take the podium. All media have been instructed that the Chatham House Rule will come into effect for that presentation only if the speaker requests it.

If you have any questions or concerns about this, please contact us directly.
