Frequently Asked Questions about the Wordfast User Conference
What is the situation with COVID-19?
At the time of answering this question, we still have more than six months ahead of us. As you know, things are quite unpredictable as waves affect each country differently. Will I be able to leave my country to attend? Will I be able to enter Montenegro? Will I have to quarantine upon arrival or returning home? Your guess is as good as ours. If we have to cancel the conference, we will do what we did in 2020—fully reimburse everyone. With this in mind, we encourage you to purchase cancellation insurance when making travel arrangements (flights and hotel booking if you are not staying at the conference hotel). If you are not permitted to travel because of restrictions imposed by the government in your home country 45 days before the conference, we will fully reimburse you.
For the safety of all our attendees, we will require you to present proof of COVID-19 vaccination, proof of immunity, or a negative COVID test (less than 72 hours)* when picking up your badge for the conference. We will also provide you with color-coded badges so you can indicate to other attendees how comfortable you are with physical contact: red means no handshakes, hugs, and stay out of my 1-meter bubble; yellow means a fist bump and minimal contact to play it safe; green means I feel comfortable with handshakes, hugs, kisses, etc.
*Updated mid-April, in light of government regulations. We will accept a negative COVID test as well.

I don’t want to stay at the conference hotel. Can I register without having to pay for the hotel?
Yes, the conference registration fee does not include your hotel stay. If you want to stay at the conference hotel, please reserve your room when registering for the conference (see the “Hotel and Dinner Bookings” section at the bottom of the Eventbrite registration form). We have a limited block of rooms so book early if you want to stay at the conference hotel!
