    The event is open to all TAPA EMEA members, with registration offered on a first come, first served basis. Please register immediately if you wish to attend as we expect the highest level of demand for delegate paces in our 25-year history.

    As a member of our industry Association, you can register additional delegates for €999.00 per person to include both days of our event in Dusseldorf.

  • I am not a member of TAPA EMEA. Can I still attend the conference?

    TAPA EMEA gives first priority for delegate places to its members, but non-members can still join us, subject to payment of the €1,999.00 per person delegate fee covering both days of our event. To register, please notify our conference organisers at info@tapaemea.org

  • How do I book hotel accommodation?

    As this year’s event is in a specialist Congress Centre, TAPA EMEA is not partnering with a specific hotel. Therefore, it is the responsibility of each delegate to organise their own hotel accommodation. We recommend booking accommodation for both 9 & 10 April 2025 as the Association is hosting delegate events on both evenings – a Welcome Networking Reception on Day 1 and a special 25th Anniversary Party on Day 2.

    Dusseldorf has a large choice of hotels to suit all budgets and booking your accommodation as soon as possible will help to ensure the best rate.

  • Have any hotels offered a preferential rate for TAPA EMEA delegates?

    Yes. For direct bookings, the b’mine Dusseldorf Hotel – where the TAPA EMEA team organising our Annual Conference will be staying – is offering our members a 10% discount on its accommodation rate for 9 & 10 April 2025, subject to availability.

Please send your proposed presentation title and an up to 200-word summary of your topic to info@tapaemea.org for review.

    Please note that even if we cannot accommodate your presentation proposal at our Annual Conference, we may still be able to provide an opportunity for you to present your topic via an editorial article in our Vigilant e-magazine.
