ADditional registration items

The IPPA 2023 Organising and Program Committees are committed to delivering a COVID-safe event for delegates, presenters and exhibitors. We recognise the importance of effectively managing risks of COVID transmission at the 2023 congress and recognise that some delegates at the event may be considered particularly vulnerable to COVID. We are working closely with venue and suppliers to ensure we deliver a COVID-safe event for all delegates participating in the IPPA World Congress on Positive Psychology.

While face masks are no longer mandatory in indoor public spaces, guests are welcome to wear a face mask based on their individual comfort level. We request all attendees do a Rapid Antigen Test before attending and bring a test to use if they start to feel unwell.

If presenters are unable to attend the 2023 IPPA World Congress due to being unwell or concerns about COVID, we will accommodate colleagues who are attending to present on their behalf.

The conference will adhere to any government COVID-19 protocols if they were to be reintroduced.

The event will not be postponed or cancelled, unless the local or national government imposes restrictions on large events.

Please note that free of charge registration and accommodation cancellations are not available within 35 days of the start of the conference.

If you wish to make changes to your registration type after you have registered, please email the details to the secretariat - do not re-register.
