Participants with special needs are allowed to attend the Congress with an accompanying person.

Each such participant must complete his/her own registration and pay the registration fee. Permission to bring an accompanying person may then be requested through the email registration@icm2018.org. Such requests must include a medical certificate attesting the participant's special needs. If needed, the Organizing Committee may request further information from the participant.
