CREATING A PERSONAL ACCOUNT

To register for the Congress, you must first create or access your personal account.

If you already have an account in the Penta system (e.g. if you have previously participated in or submitted abstracts for a congress organized by PENTA PCO), please enter the required information under “Existing User”. If you have forgotten your password, click on “Forgot your password?” to reset it.

If you do not yet have an account, you will need to create one by entering the required information under “Create an account”. A registration confirmation will be sent to your email address. Please complete the registration process by clicking on the link provided in the email, which will redirect you back to the registration page to finalize your details.

Once your personal account has been created, you can use your username and password to register not only for this congress, but also for future congresses organized by PENTA PCO.

REGISTRATION PROCESS

There are two types of registration:

Individual registration – for one participant
Registration process: Click on “REGISTER NOW,” enter the required information, and generate a payment offer.

Group registration – for two or more participants (known names)
Registration process: Click on “GROUP REGISTRATION,” then enter the required information for each participant individually by selecting “Add new participant”.

For group registration, the process must be completed only after all participants have been entered, by clicking “Complete group registration”. After entering each participant, click “Close”.

If you click “Complete group registration” before entering all participants, only the already entered participants will be saved, and the registration process will need to be repeated.

NOTE: Blank registration (individual or group) – If participant names are not yet known, please enter “PERSON” in the “First Name” field and a sequential number in the “Last Name” field (e.g. PERSON 1, PERSON 2, PERSON 3, etc.), according to the total number of participants.

A complete list of names (corresponding to “PERSON 1, 2, …”) must be submitted as soon as possible, and no later than November 10, 2026, to: jana.vlasic@penta-zagreb.hr

Before completing the registration process, please carefully review all entered information, as the generated offer cannot be modified and the form would need to be completed again.

After completing the registration process, a proforma invoice will be generated, and upon payment, a payment confirmation will be issued. Both documents will be addressed to the payer you specified.

ENTERING PAYER DETAILS FOR SELECTED SERVICES

Payer details (one or more) must be entered by selecting “Add new payer”. Selecting a payer is a mandatory part of the registration process, and a payer must be assigned for each selected service.

If you have already generated a proforma invoice but need to change the payer, you must delete the existing proforma invoice (by clicking “Delete”) and repeat the registration process from the beginning.

SELECTING A PAYMENT METHOD

After completing the registration process, you must choose between two payment options:

• Bank transfer (please include the proforma invoice number as reference)
• Credit card payment (MasterCard and Visa)

All bank charges are the responsibility of the payer, who must cover any associated fees.

CHANGES TO SERVICES, NAMES, AND INVOICES

Please carefully review the issued offer/invoice. Any changes to names, services, or dates in the registration (i.e. in the offer/invoice for the Professional Meeting) can be made free of charge within 5 working days of receipt.

After this period, each change will be charged €10.00 per modification due to additional administrative procedures. Therefore, we kindly ask for your full attention and accuracy when entering your data.
