ACCESS CARDS/REGISTRATION
If you have a valid CERN access card, please remember to bring it. For those of you who do not possess one, please note that the guards at each entrance to the site will have a list of participants for the meeting and will let you in. You will then be given a badge on Wednesday morning at the start of the meeting that will act as a 'visitor's access card' throughout your stay. Should you have any problems please call: +41 (0)76 487 4162.
