For all our events, including conferences, workshops, and social events, we take the COVID-situation seriously. We want to reduce the risk of infection as much as possible, and keep everyone safe.
We will adhere to local government regulations and guidelines, and when deemed necessary, take additional measures at our discretion. As regulations and best practices around COVID management for events evolve constantly, we may change our approach up to the last moment.
For now there are no requirements in The Netherlands. Up to date info is here. However there are specific regulations for Non-EU residents: [please check the current official CORONA travel-regulations] (https://www.government.nl/topics/coronavirus-covid-19/visiting-the-netherlands-from-abroad/exemptions-to-the-entry-ban)
The latest version of this policy is available at https://2022.dddeurope.com/covid.
If you have any questions or concerns about our COVID-19 policy, please do not hesitate to contact us via contact@dddeurope.com.

If a participant doesn’t comply to the policy, the event organisers may take any action they deem appropriate, including warning the offender or removing them from the event with no right to a refund.

What if you can’t attend anymore?
Our general Terms and Conditions apply for cancellations by the participant.
However, under the following conditions, we will refund the full cost of the ticket when:
- there are travel restrictions to or from your country of departure
- you are tested positive by the organisers upon entry of the event venue
Any other reasons are at the discretion of the organisers.
Disagreement with the terms of this policy, or unwillingness to comply with the measures during the event, will not be grounds for a full refund, except as stipulated by the Terms & Conditions.
What if we cancel or postpone an event?
If the conditions or local regulations make it impossible to organise the event responsibly, the event will be postponed.
After a new date has been announced, the participants will be given the choice to transfer their ticket to the new dates, or to receive a full refund of the ticket cost.
Changes in the program or schedule of an event are not grounds for a full refund, except as stipulated in the Terms and Conditions.
