Financial security for your international conference

Pre-financing

The pre-financing scheme enables conference organisers to apply for an interest-free loan, without any further charges; a kind of subsidy scheme for conferences.

This scheme is intended to finance the start-up costs that you, as the organiser of a conference, will encounter at an early stage. This money can be used, for example, to make the first down payments for the accommodation or to develop the conference website.

About Pre-financing

Guarantee

The guarantee scheme serves as conference or event insurance, thereby offering great financial security.

This scheme is intended to cover any loss that may arise due to disappointing participant numbers. By providing a guarantee, the fund aims to ensure that the conference can go ahead.
