Badge Collection and Desk Opening Hours

All badges must be collected personally, and badges are therefore strictly non-transferable.

Location:

  • Pick up your event badge at the badging stations located in the Cresta Sprayview Hotel. 
  • Please bring your passport or photo ID to collect your badge.
  • Badges should be scanned before being handed over.
  • Given the usual large number of arriving delegates on 25 May, the opening day of RDF, delegates are advised to pick up their event badge at least one day before the opening day of the event.
