Exceptionally for VIPs, badges, together with a distinctive VIP lanyard, may be collected on their behalf by an authorized third party at the Conference Registration Desk. In such cases, an ID photograph of the registered VIP must be sent in advance to the registration service at: BDTMeetingsRegistration@itu.int
