The IFAC App is powered by Conference Compass, selected after an evaluation phase of different solutions. See www.conference-compass.com for detailed information about the Conference Compass solutions.

The current contract with Conference Compass allows for an upgrade of facilities to fully support hybrid and online events, of which the additional costs are specified as € 3.50 - € 5.00 per participant per event-day, dependent on the size of the event.

That means please contact us as soon as you decided to use the app.

Extra Services need to be booked and confirmed (signed contract) no later than 3 months prior to the start of the event. Therefore, please make sure that you contact us timely in advance!
