Update of 2020-07-16: Early registration deadline extended and upgrade options created

As many people are still not sure whether or not they can travel to Zurich, we have extended the early registration deadline to July 25 and also have created the possibility to upgrade a remote registration to one with physical presence in Zurich.

Update of 2020-07-09: Credit card payments re-established

Our registration provider XING Events has just informed us that credit card payments have been re-established.

Update of 2020-09-05: RE’20 is over

The conference is over. Registration is no longer possible.

All prices are quoted in Swiss Francs (CHF) and include all applicable taxes.

Registration fees are payable in Swiss Francs. We accept credit cards, prepayment by bank transfer and PayPal payments. Registrations become effective only after receipt of payment.

Early registration rates apply for all registrations received before or on July 20, 2020, 23:59 AoE.

Member rates are available for members of ACM, IEEE, and IEEE Computer Society. Employees of FHNW and UZH can also register at member rates. Proof of member status is required upon request by RE’20.

Student rates are available only for students who are enrolled in a university as undergraduate, graduate or PhD students. Proof of student status is required upon request by RE’20.

Students who are members of ACM, IEEE, or IEEE CS or are enrolled at FHNW or UZH are eligible for registering at student member rates.

People who will attend the conference physically in Zurich have to register at the regular rates. Furthermore, every accepted paper must be covered with a registration at regular rates (see the author registration policy below).

People who cannot travel to Zurich can register as remote participants.  If you are an author of an accepted paper, please note that remote attendance registrations do not cover any  accepted papers; see the author registration policy below.

Several people have informed us that they would like to travel and attend the conference physically in Zurich, but are not yet sure whether or not they actually can or are allowed to travel. To cope with this situation, we  have created the possibility to upgrade a remote registration to one with physical presence in Zurich. This way, participants who would like to travel, but do not know yet whether they actually can, have the opportunity to register for remote participation at early registration rates and upgrade this registration to a physical one later. Upgrading will be possible until August 21, 2020.

Please note: Only remote individual registrations can be upgraded. Upgrades from remote to physical participation are valid for the registrant only. If a second person was specified in the remote registration, this person cannot participate remotely any more after the upgrade.

The rates are listed below. They will remain effective until August 21.

Every accepted submission to RE’20 (including all workshops) must be covered by a registration at regular rates.

• A “Main Conference” registration covers one accepted conference paper in any of these tracks: research, industrial innovation, RE@Next, journal-first*, or posters and demos. It includes remote access (for the registrant and up to one further person from the same institution) for registrants who cannot travel to Zurich.
• An “All Events” registration covers one accepted conference paper in any of these tracks: research, industrial innovation, RE@Next, journal-first*, or  posters and demos and up to two accepted papers in workshops W1-W12 or the Doctoral Symposium. It includes remote access (for the registrant and up to one further person from the same institution) for registrants who cannot travel to Zurich.
• A “Monday Events” registration covers one accepted paper in workshops W1-W6. For registrants who cannot travel to Zurich, this registration includes remote access to all events on Mon Aug 31 (for the registrant and up to one further person from the same institution).
• A “Tuesday Events” registration covers one accepted paper in workshops W7-W12 or in the Doctoral Symposium. For registrants who cannot travel to Zurich, this registration includes remote access to all events on Tue  Sept 1 (for the registrant and up to one further person from the same institution).
• Remote participation registrations do not cover any accepted paper.
• Authors who have more than one contribution accepted for the main conference will receive a discount of CHF 300 upon request. Eligible Authors are requested to claim the discount prior to registering (send e-mail to info@re20.org).

Student authors are allowed to register at student rates. Student authors who have been accepted as student volunteers will receive a free “All Events” registration (which is good for covering papers as specified above).

*As Journal-First contributions will not be published in the proceedings, a discounted rate is available for covering Journal-First contributions. The authors of Journal-First contributions will receive e-mail with instructions how to claim the discount.

Cancellations must be made by contacting XING Events, the company that handles registrations for RE’20, at billing@xing-events.com, or in writing to RE’20. For cancellations up to July 31, 2020 the total amount paid, minus a processing fee, will be refunded. Thereafter, the full amount paid will be forfeited.

Substitutions will be accepted only in exceptional cases and only if that case happens after July 31. For making a substitution, send a request in writing to the RE’20 General Co-Chairs.
