Service center
The services of printing, copying and power supply for your laptop, mobile phone or other technical services are provided. Upon cash payment the Service Centre is located on level 0.

Breakfast
As breakfast is usually part of the accommodation package, it is not included in the Conference package. However, you can have breakfast at the CICG from 7h00 onwards at your own expense. This option is particularly helpful for participants who plan to participate in the Meet the Author sessions.

Food and beverage
Coffee and tea during official coffee breaks are included in the registration fee and will be served in the designated areas. Lunch will be served with lunch bags to reduce the queueing time and allow you to have your lunch wherever you want to – be it the meeting corner, park, terrace or some other place. Lunch bags will be available during lunch breaks in the restaurant located on level 1 and the exhibition area located on level 0 of the CICG. Fruits, vegetables and water are available free of charge throughout the conference for all conference participants. All other beverages can be purchased at the conference centre, but must be paid by the participants.

Water bottles
At the beginning of the conference you will receive a 33 cl PET bottle with mineral water. Participants are encouraged to use these PET bottles throughout the conference as a personal drinking container. The tap water in Geneva is of excellent quality. Use your own water bottle and refill it with tap water or with the water from the water dispenser. Thank you for helping us to minimize the waste!

Conference bags
We encourage you to bring your own bag that you will use throughout the conference! Those who will not have one, will receive a simple reusable cotton bag at the conference material desk. Each conference participant can choose what their conference bag is filled with and thus avoid excessive waste! All the material for the conference bag will be made available on conference material desks next to the registration area [please follow the signs]. Pick up the programme book and choose the rest of the material that you would like to have in your bag.

Bookshop
If you would like to buy a book in connection with the Meet the Authors sessions or any other book on health promotion and sustainable development, please visit the bookshop stand on the ground floor.
