From June 1st at 19:46 o´clock until July 7th at 23:59 o´clock you can reserve seats for any event you care to - in most cases even for you and others as a group - even overlapping and colliding ones at no risk since the seat allocation will sort that for you.
On July 8th and 9th, the seats will be allocated for you trying to fulfil your wishes as good as possible ensuring you need not be at two different places at the same time or get the same event more than once (no bookings possible during this phase).
IBD delegates will certainly have priority for the "default" evening events like the Icebreaker, Galadinner or Helsinki as well as the Sunday afternoon tour. If you are a delegate, please make sure to tick the appropriate checkbox in the "Options for the main event" and book the events before July 7th.
In the following weeks until August 18th at 23:59 o´clock you can amend your booking as you wish free of charge - that might be nice after seeing what you got and perhaps cancel the odd event if you are not sure you can make it from one to the next one in time. Feel free to book more events, out yourself on the waiting list of overbooked events, cancel bookings, ...
On August 19th the first invoices will be sent out and as of then cancellations are not possible anymore. It can happen that some events have an earlier cacellation deadline – they are tagged accordingly in the event title and in this case the cancellation deadline mentioned in the event description is the valid one.
Until October 1st at 23:59 o´clock you can continue to book additional events; they will be invoiced at midnight the day you book. After that online booking is closed (we need some time to prepare the tickets etc.). We will have some tickets available for sale during IBD+ in the organisation office.
You do want to read the Booking System Guide - especially the part on priorities and group bookings.
Note for German users: For group booking membership numbers must be with country prefix (not as with normal "Jahrestreffen" where the 049 for German members is optional).
In some event titles you see "(transmission of personal data required)" indicating that we need to supply information about the visitors to the company as detailed in the event´s description. These events can only be booked for a single person, are non-transferrable and with booking them you allow the transfer of your data as indicated in the event.
You will be charged a base fee (that obviously is the "answer to almost everthing") of 42€ (early booking price) which covers the public transport ticket for the whole time (including Cologne on Friday) and the cost for things like the room for playing boardgames open 24/4 (we have 4 days only, so no 24/7), the family retreat room, a "silent room" as retreat for those neeing a moment of peace and quiet, the organisation office and check-in desk, the conference booklet, preparation meetings, etc. If you make your first booking after August 18th the base fee will increase by 10€ and if you´re really late and book IBD+ during the event it is 10€ more; children below the age of 6 pay no base fee and up to the age of 12 it is 32€ throughout. (IBD Delegates do not pay this fee.)
Please note that no events or presentations are included in this base fee as is common for some big events.
In order to book you certainly need an account on our system - how to set one up is detailed on the page Registration.
After you selected the events we kindly ask you to name an emergency contact (e.g. in case you need to go to a hospital due to an accident). To promote the international experience we furthermore ask you to indicate the languages you can speak using the two-letter-language codes like e.g. de, eh, fr, zh on that page; these will be printed on your name badge.Please ensure that when you register for or book events to check the list of things you picked when presented and then click on the final button to confirm your reservation or booking - you´ll then get an email with the details. If you do not get an email then either you did not confirm, or the email address in your account is invalid, or your SPAM filter does not like the mail. If in doubt, please get in touch with us at ibd2025@mensa.de.
When booking you accept the Terms and Conditions outlined in the "Besondere Geschäftsbedingungen (AGB)"
(for legal reasons the German version is binding, an thus unofficial translation of the Terms and Conditions is here).
Please note that we require you to have a working email address in your account on our system that you check regularly (including the SPAM filter; you might want to whitelist *@mensa.de) so that we can reach out to you. If we need to get in touch for whatever reason and get no reply within a week, we might have to act with the risk of doing the "wrong" thing. Thanks to help us avoid this!
All times stated on this booking site are local German times, i.e. Berlin time zone.
