The currency in Spain is the Euro (€). One ATM machine can be found outside of the North Entrance, one ATM machine can be found outside of the South Entrance and a third ATM machine can be found on the boulevard / Avenida.
The United Kingdom uses a 230-volt AC, 50Hz electrical current, similar to most European countries. However, the UK uses a unique three-pin plug (Type G), not the two-pin continental plugs (Type C or E/F) common in most of Europe.
- Visitors from continental Europe (including Switzerland) will need a plug adapter to use their two-pin appliances in UK sockets.
- Visitors from North America will need both a plug adapter and a voltage converter if their appliances are not dual voltage (since North America uses 110/120V, 60Hz).
The company K.I.T. Group has been contracted to handle the hotel accommodation for congress participants. Their staff will be available at the Hotel Desk in the Registration Area (Blue Area).

The organisers do not accept liability for any personal damage. Participants are advised to arrange their own personal insurance.

An extensive technical exhibition will be held during EAU26 and is open to technical equipment manufacturers, pharmaceutical companies and scientific publishers. This exhibition is one of the premier events worldwide for showcasing new and established products as well as cutting-edge medical technology. High-profile companies, as well as small innovative businesses, join the exhibition – offering insights and opening the doors onto the world of modern urology.
If you have a license to prescribe pharmaceuticals make sure to tick the “Prescriber” box during congress registration to have a “P” printed on your congress badge, showing you have accreditation to access the “Exhibition Booths related to prescription-only medicines.” and to attend EAU symposia that are restricted to Prescribers.
