WELCOME ADDRESS
Dear Colleagues,
The 26th Congress of the European Psychiatric Association (EPA), the largest
international association of psychiatrists in Europe, will take place 3-6 March 2018
at the prestigious Nice Acropolis Convention Centre located in the city of Nice, the
dynamic, cosmopolitan, unofficial capital of the Côte d’Azur.
The theme of the Congress will be “Mental Health - Integrate, Innovate, Individualise”.
Integrate emphasises the need to include mental health in both health and social
policies; promote the integration of different approaches to mental health care and
research; integrate research and mental health services focusing on different life
epochs.
Innovate emphasises the importance of identifying priorities for mental health care
and research; disseminating and promoting translation into standard practices of
new successful prevention and intervention programmes; developing e-mental health
programmes to improve service delivery and communication with users, and overcome
spatial and linguistic barriers.
Individualise emphasises the current view of mental health care and research as
person-centred by matching therapeutic interventions with individual’s characteristics,
values and preferences.
A special focus of the Congress will be the integration of new technologies and
research findings into person-centred approaches to prevention, care and training, at
a time in which difficult challenges, such as displacement, war, terrorism and economic
constraints, require new answers.
The Congress will bring together expert clinicians, researchers and leaders of
stakeholder organisations in the field of mental health, offering an outstanding set of
Plenary and State of the Art Lectures, Educational Courses, Symposia, Workshops,
informal meetings with experts and sessions designed by and for early career
psychiatrists.
We are confident that, like every year, the Congress will represent for all participants
an unforgettable personal and professional experience, and we look forward to
welcoming you to Nice.

ABOUT EPA
The European Psychiatric Association (EPA) was founded in 1983.
With active individual members in as many as 88 countries and 40
National Psychiatric Associations who represent over 78,000 European
Psychiatrists, EPA is the main association representing psychiatry in
Europe. Its mission is to improve psychiatry and mental health care in
Europe.

EPA members include leading experts in numerous fields, covered
by 21 scientific Sections. EPA’s activities address the interests of
psychiatrists in academia, research and practice throughout all stages
of career development. Together, EPA members contribute to the life of
the association and to the development of Psychiatry in Europe. Each
member has the possibility to actively contribute to ongoing projects
and play a key role in shaping the future of the Association and its
policy.

One important task for a European association is to maintain strong
links with other European and international institutions and associations.
As such, EPA acts as an active partner for the Council of Europe,
the World Health Organization (WHO), the European Union (EU),
the European Union of Medical Specialists (UEMS), the European
College of Neuropsychopharmacology (ECNP), the World Psychiatric
Association (WPA), the European Brain Council (EBC), the European
Federation of Psychiatric Trainees (EFPT), the European Conference
on Schizophrenia Research (ECSR) and several patient and relatives
organisations, such as the European Federation of Associations of
Families of People with Mental Illness (EUFAMI) and the Global Alliance
of Mental Illness Advocacy Networks-Europe (GAMIAN-Europe).

EPA CONGRESS PROFILE
The EPA Congress Scientific Programme is composed of 5 main tracks; each track
is composed of a variety of Plenary, State of the Art, Pro & Con Debates, Symposia,
and Workshop sessions:

·   Research Track is composed of sessions with a focus on current research
    trends in psychiatry.

·   Clinical / Therapeutic Track offers participants updated, state-of-the-art,
    clinical and therapeutic information which is based on research and linked to
    daily practice.

·   Educational Track provides an update on developments in the field and the
    opportunity for exchange of ideas between participants and speakers.

·   European Track deals with common issues for psychiatrists across
    Europe and will therefore be of particular interest for members of the
    National Psychiatric Societies/Associations.

·   Mental Health Policy Track deals with principles and models for action
    aimed at promoting mental health.

·   Within each track, some sessions are part of the European Early
    Career Psychiatrists’ Programme (EECPP). EPA invites recent graduates to
    participate in these sessions, which are tailored to the needs of the early
    career psychiatrist.

The Scientific Programme will also include:
·   Free Communications Sessions – There are Free Communications
    Sessions classified by topic, in which the authors of selected outstanding
    abstracts will give a talk.

·   Industry Supported Sessions – There are Satellite Symposia organised
    by pharmaceutical companies in consultation with the Scientific Programme
    Committee.

·   E-Posters – There are e-Poster viewings classified by topics, in which
    outstanding posters will be presented electronically. There are also daily
    e-Poster Walk Sessions that take place during the lunch breaks.

·   Ask the Expert Sessions – These sessions allow participants to meet in a
    small group with outstanding researchers and clinicians. The sessions,
    limited in number and taking place at round tables, are designed to facilitate
    informal discussion, allowing participants to present their questions and gain
    new perspective.

EXHIBITION GUIDELINES
Participation by exhibitors/supporters is dependent upon compliance with all rules, regulations and
conditions stated herein.

Kenes International is the official Organiser of the EPA 2018 Congress (Hereinafter: “The Organiser).
The Organiser’s Exhibition Manager, acting under direction of the Organising Committee, has the final
decision as to the acceptability of displays. Exhibitors are not to share with others any space allotted to
them without prior written consent by the Exhibition Manager.

Exhibition Layout
The Organiser reserves the right to alter the general layout or limit the space allotted to each exhibitor/
supporter, postpone the exhibition or transfer it to another site if unforeseen circumstances warrant such
action. Should any contingency prevent the holding of the exhibition, neither the Organiser nor EPA will
be held liable for expenses incurred other than the cost of exhibit space rental fees.

Booths constructions
All exhibits are to be displayed so as to avoid blocking aisles, obstructing adjoining booths, damaging
the premises or the leased equipment. Exhibitors are kindly requested to allow sufficient see-through
areas, which ensure clear views of surrounding exhibits.

In standard booths, height is restricted to 246cm. Exhibitors are responsible for the cost and execution
of the design, installation and delivery of their display to (and its removal from) the exhibition site.
Flammable materials are not to be used. Equipment displayed or demonstrated must be installed with
strict adherence to safety measures.

Timetable
Access to the exhibition is authorised on presentation of a badge issued by the Organiser. Exhibitors’
badges will not be mailed in advance and may be collected from the Exhibition Manager’s desk.

Exhibitors undertake to observe the timetable designated for completion of their display before the
exhibition opening and its dismantling at the close of the exhibition. No dismantling or packing of the
display before the designated hour. It is the Exhibitor’s responsibility to pack and remove or consign for
shipment all items of value prior to leaving their exhibit unattended, otherwise the Organiser will arrange
for their removal at the exhibitor’s risk and expenses.

Promotional Activities
Promotional activities are only allowed within the exhibition surface and only as long as they do not
interfere with the running of the Congress nor disturb the fellow exhibitors. Activities such as “Meet-
the-Expert” sessions and scientific or product presentations talks are not permitted in the exhibition
booth. Any kind of walking advertisement throughout the exhibition area and Congress venue is strictly
forbidden.

Sound Restrictions
Sound, electrical and other mechanical appliances must be muffled so that no noise disturbance is
caused to other exhibitors. The exhibition Organiser reserves the right to determine at what point
activities have to be reduced, respectively sound constitutes interference with others and if it must be
discontinued.

To this extent the Organiser, EPA, their respective staff and providers as well as the Congress Venue
are to be considered third parties. Exhibitors’ liabilities are extended to their personnel and / or other
people working under their control. Since neither the Organiser, EPA, and their staff nor the Congress
Venue are liable for any damages and/ or loss suffered by the exhibitors during the exhibition, including
installation and dismantling, it is strongly recommended to arrange insurance accordingly.

Insert and Display Materials
·    Please note that all materials entering the venue incur a handling charge. This includes materials
     for inserts and display.

·   In order to receive a price quote for handling and to assure arrival of their materials, sponsors/
    exhibitors should make sure to complete the “Pre-Advise” form included in the shipping
    instructions when they receive either the Exhibition or Symposia Technical Manuals.

Advertising
Advertising is permitted only on the stand space (aisles excluded). Displays of printed matter or advertising
outside this area but on the premises of the Congress are not allowed. No flyers, posters, handouts, etc.
can be left on tables, in conference hotels, on buses, etc. unless the relevant operators explicitly agree
to it. In addition, sponsors/exhibitors must comply with all applicable national and international rules and
regulations related to advertising and promotion of all products and services as part of their stand. The
Organiser and EPA bear no responsibility for non-compliance by the sponsor/exhibitor.

Disposal and Waste
It is the responsibility of the sponsor/exhibitor to ensure that all waste material from stand construction
(including boxes for packaging) are completely removed from the exhibition area prior to the opening
of the exhibition and at the end of the Congress. Waste cleared by the Organiser will be charged to
the sponsor/exhibitor. The Organiser ensures daily cleaning of the aisles. Exhibitors /supporters are
responsible for the cleaning of their stands.

Exhibition Terms and Conditions
The Terms & Conditions of exhibiting are included in this Prospectus. Please note that signing of the
EXHIBITION BOOKING FORM AND CONTRACT indicates acceptance of these Terms & Conditions.
The Exhibition Booking Form will be held as a valid liable contract, by which both parties will be bound.
Note: Additional guidelines and regulations will be published in the Exhibitor Technical Manual that
        will be sent approximately three to six months before the congress.

EPA LOGO GUIDELINES
Guidelines for the use of EPA Corporate Identity, for Events or Publications which are not
organised directly by the EPA.

The EPA (European Psychiatric Association) and the European Congress of Psychiatry names, logos and
corporate identity reflect the credibility of and is the sole intellectual property of the EPA. In general, these
logos, names, abbreviations or whatever symbols of corporate identity of the EPA and the European Congress
of Psychiatry MAY NOT be used by any organisation or individual other than the EPA.

This also applies to activities organised concurrent with or at EPA Congresses/events and which are not
organised by the EPA Scientific Programme Committee or subject to the full scientific and other reviews of
the EPA Congress Scientific Programme Committee.

However, special permission will be granted for sponsors and for scientific activities organised by approved
external parties at EPA Congresses and events, such as for approved satellite symposia, under the following
conditions:

An application must be made to the EPA administration via: maya.ravinsky@europsy.net preferably at the
same time as the submission of the scientific contents/Programme of the satellite symposium. Written consent
must be obtained by 1 September 2017.

The application must:
·    Indicate the nature of the printed matter / document such as an invitation, flyer, poster or whatever
·     Indicate for which activity it is intended (if for a scientific session the Programme contents should be
      attached)
·    Contain an electronic graphic version of each document, poster, invitation or whatever that intends
     to display the logo/ EPA identity. A draft submission may be submitted for first review, but a final
     graphic version is required to obtain EPA approval.

The EPA name, logo etc. should not be the principal visual identity of the document, and should not exceed
5% of the surface of any one page or surface. The discretion of the EPA will apply.

Any non-EPA event for which such logo/name use is requested must be a bona fide scientific event, and does
not include social events.

The EPA and the European Congress of Psychiatry branding or logos may not be used on letterheads.

The documents displaying the EPA and the European Congress of Psychiatry logo/identity may not create
the visual impression of being principally organised by the EPA. The actual organiser/sponsor must be clearly
stated.

Please contact the EPA administration www.europsy.net/accueil/contact for further information, we will be
glad to assist you or discuss special situations not covered in these guidelines.
