During the registration process and the execution of the Congress, the personal data of each attendee will be processed in accordance with the applicable data protection regulations, in particular the General Data Protection Regulation GDPR (Regulation (EU) 2016/679).

When participating in the Congress side events, personal data may be forwarded to the service partners entrusted with the organisation of the side events in order to enable participation. The legal basis for data processing results from Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR (necessity for the performance of the contract).

In the course of participation in the Congress, personal data may be processed by companies based in third countries without adequacy decision by the European Union Commission. The attendee consents to such data processing insofar as it is necessary for their participation and the full use of the Congress services, although the assertion of rights under data protection law and powers of appeal may be limited or made more difficult.

You have the right to specify how your data may be used. Please review each of the following consent categories:

Yes, I consent that my data is provided to the organisers for future occurrences of this event

Yes, I consent to being sent information about other relevant products, events and services in my area of interest

Yes, I consent to my details (full name, job title, and company name) being included on the delegate list for this event and shared with the event sponsors and exhibitors

Yes, I consent to my profile details to be included on the mobile events app, virtual events platform and/or other technologies used for this event

You may withdraw your granular consent at any time by notice in writing to the Congress Secretariat.
You are entitled to access the information held through written application to the Congress Secretariat.

Registration Cancellation Policy

Notification of cancellation must be made in writing and sent to congress@hydropower.org and register.whc2027@arinexgroup.com. The notification must include all the relevant information regarding the bank account to which a possible refund may be remitted.
Should the Delegate wish to cancel their registration, any other administration, accommodation, travel or insurance costs incurred by the Delegate are the sole responsibility of the Delegate.
If the written notification of cancellation is received:
- Before the first early bird registration deadline (30 September 2026, Australian Eastern Standard Time), the Delegate will receive a full refund less a cancellation charge of AUD 100 and any bank charges incurred.

There will be no refund for unattended events or early termination of attendance.
Refund requests will be processed within 30 (thirty) business days after the refund confirmation email was sent to the Delegate by Arinex.
Registrations can be transferred to another delegate any time before 1 April 2027, Australian Eastern Standard Time (AEST). A penalty charge of AUD 100 might be charged. This charge will also apply for duplicate registrations requesting a refund.
