Program
The daily updated conference program is available directly in ConfTool (accessible at https://www.conftool.pro/sgbf2025/). Last-minute cancellations of presentations will be updated in ConfTool on an ongoing basis. In order to enable all participants to attend the presentations they wish to see, we will also move events with a large number of registrations to larger rooms if necessary. You can help us by adding the events you have already decided to attend to your personal conference program using the ConfTool function "My Agenda" by clicking on the plus sign.

On-site registration and no-show policy
Authors who have not registered before the start of the conference can do so at the Welcome Desk upon arrival. In this case, the conference fee must be paid in cash (Swiss francs). If registered people do not attend the conference, we will cancel their registration in accordance with the cancellation policy.
Workspaces
A limited number of meeting and seminar rooms are available for work and exchange. Please contact the Welcome Desk if you require workspace.
Luggage storage
On the day of your arrival or departure, luggage storage is available in lecture hall 4.
Capacity in lecture halls and seminar rooms
Due to the high level of interest in the conference, there may be a shortage of space for individual events. We therefore ask you to use all seats in the lectures halls and seminar rooms so that the available space can be used optimally. There are enough seats available overall. If necessary, please switch to one of the larger lecture halls 6, 8, and 9 or seminar rooms 2.A07/2.A10 and 2.B30 if there are no more seats available for your desired event.
Lunch and coffee breaks
Lunch will be available in the refectory and foyer on Thursday and Friday from 11:15 a.m. for registered guests. Your menu selection is printed on your name tag. Lunch includes the menu, a beverage, and coffee at a coffee station in the foyer. This does not include the coffee box in the foyer. If your conference schedule allows, please use the time before lunch to avoid the rush at 12:00. We kindly ask you to use all seats in the refectory and foyer so that the available seats can be used optimally. During the coffee breaks, drinks will be available at various catering points in the foyer. Please help yourself quickly to coffee, tea, cold drinks, and pastries so that all guests can enjoy a snack.
Tickets for the conference dinner at the Hotel Schweizerhof
The conference dinner is fully booked. A waiting list is being kept. If you are interested in attending, please register at the welcome desk.
