Badges and lanyard

Due to regulatory requirements and compliance with the ABPI Code of Practice, PCRS can only permit practising healthcare professionals and other relevant decision-makers to visit pharmaceutical company exhibition stands.

To support compliance, all delegates will be issued with a colour-coded lanyard. This enables the Event Team and exhibitors to easily identify who is eligible to access pharmaceutical company stands.

If you believe you have been issued the wrong lanyard, please speak to a member of the Event Team, who will be happy to review your eligibility and advise whether a change can be made.

Delegates who are not healthcare professionals or relevant decision-makers will be issued with a yellow lanyard. Yellow lanyard holders are not permitted to visit pharmaceutical company exhibition stands or enter the exhibition hall. Please speak to a member of the Event Team to learn about the alternative arrangements available to you.

Sharing your contact details

Your conference badge will include a QR code that enables you to share your contact details with other attendees. You can review and update the information associated with your QR code at any time via the conference dashboard.

You'll have the opportunity to meet the PCRS Chair, Darush Attar-Zadeh and other PCRS committee members, who are excited to welcome you personally and connect with fellow solo attendees in a relaxed and supportive environment.

Look out for 'Team Solo' zones - we will have a designated 'team solo' seating area in the main conference plenary room specifically for solo attendees - making it easier to strike up conversations.
