ENG2WINE: Industry Challenges and Innovative Engineering Solutions
Conference Fees and Registration
ECI conferences are designed as fully immersive experiences, with hotel accommodations and meals included in the registration to encourage collaboration, informal discussion, and meaningful engagement among participants. To support this model, we have a contractual commitment with the conference hotel to provide lodging and meals for all attendees. For this reason, we are unable to offer registration without accommodations and/or meals, except for participants who maintain a permanent residence in the same city as the conference venue.
The conference fee includes: registration, hotel accommodations (for the nights of Sunday through Wednesday, 22-25 March; check-out on Thursday, 26 March 2026); plus, all meals, off-site excursion(s), and taxes. Incidental fees such as calls, laundry, minibar, etc. will be billed to your personal account by the hotel.
- ALL PARTICIPANTS - including members of the Organizing Committee and invited speakers -
are required to register. - ECI cannot guarantee hotel accommodations without advance payment.
- Registrations and/or payments received after 23 February 2026 will be confirmed on a first-come, first-serve basis, if space is still available.
- Registration will close on:
13 March 2026.
