Badge Policy
IMCAS respects strictly the criteria required for CME accreditation. That is why the access to the conferences is submitted to a number of exact rules, aiming at guaranteeing the scientific independence of the conferences, and at preserving it from any commercial interest influence.
A precise Badge Policy has been implemented, which specifies the rules relating to the admittance to the different areas of IMCAS conferences.
IMCAS Badge Policy is mandatory for all the participants. Its violation will authorise IMCAS Staff to take measures in order to restore the order, and may lead to the withdrawal of the badge and the prohibition of access to the conference area.
According to each participant’s status (delegate, faculty, exhibitor, etc), a corresponding badge colour is issued based on a precise “COLOUR CODE”:
