Registration and Your Privacy
Registration for our conferences requires having an account to manage your registration and ensure your privacy. For simplicity and security, we are asking all registrants to use their eclipse.org accounts. If you do not already have an Eclipse account, you will be asked to create one prior to registering.
Eclipse accounts store a bare minimum of information, and you are always free at any time to cancel your account and remove all data should you choose to. Your data will not be used for any other purpose and will be retained only for financial and tax reporting purposes.
If you prefer that we also use your data so that you can receive information on our future events and offerings, please check the appropriate box as part of the registration process. You can withdraw your consent on each communication you receive from us with a dedicated link.
As part of the registration process, we also seek your consent to share your information with our sponsors so they can contact you regarding their respective services and offerings. Should you grant this consent, then your personal data will be protected under their privacy policies, and if you wish to withdraw consent, you would have to make your request directly to them.

Do you have group discounts?
We can offer discounts to groups of five (5) or more people from the same organization. The larger the group, the bigger the discount (up to a point!). Please note that group discounts cannot be applied retroactively and can not be combined with other discounts, such as member, speaker, etc. Only registrants not receiving another type of discount "count" toward the group discount. Please email us for more information on group discounts or visit the Registration page.
How do I register with a sponsor discount?
If you're a sponsor, we love you, and we prove it by sending you regular emails. We will send you an email with information about how to register with your discount code. If you're reading this and it is past early September and you don't recall seeing the email, please email us. If you plan to register with a sponsor discount, please do NOT register until you have your discount code.
How do I register with a speaker discount?
Speaker discounts are implemented with discount codes. If you join the hallowed ranks of accepted speakers and qualify for the discount, your code will be included in the "accept" auto-email that you receive after the program is chosen.

How do I know if I am an Eclipse member, and how do I register with a member discount?
A person is an Eclipse member as per the Eclipse Bylaws. The short version is that a member is an employee of an Eclipse member company. A mostly up-to-date list of the member companies is available on the Eclipse website. If you are not sure if your employer is an Eclipse member, please feel free to ask us. If you would like your company to become a member, please have the appropriate DMP (decision-making person) contact the Eclipse Foundation. There are many benefits of membership including discounted registration to EclipseCon.
Register as a member by entering the discount code MEMBER in the discount code box on the registration page.
How do I know if I am an Eclipse committer, and how do I register with a committer discount?
We're pretty sure you know if you are an Eclipse committer. But we'll give you the official answer anyway. A committer is developer on an Eclipse project who has commit rights to the corresponding eclipse.org code repository. All committers have unix accounts on dev.eclipse.org, so if you don't have an account there, then you are not a committer. If you would like to become a committer, the best way to start is to contact the project lead of an interesting project; committers are elected by their peers based on the quantity and quality of their contributions to an Eclipse project. It's a role to be proud of, and an honor not given lightly.
Register as a committer by entering the discount code COMMITTER in the discount code box on the registration page. (And don't you feel proud to be a committer after that description of your role?)
If you have attended an EclipseCon in the past, welcome back! Register by entering the discount code ALUMNI in the discount code box on the registration page.
How can I cancel my registration if my plans change?
Please email us to cancel your registration. If received by September 15, 2019, we will cancel your registration and charge you €50 for a processing fee. No refund of any kind, for any reason (including medical emergencies), will be given for cancellation requests received on or after September 15, 2019. No-shows are liable for the entire conference fee. In the unlikely event that EclipseCon Europe 2019 is cancelled, paid attendees will be refunded for the amount paid for the conference, but the conference organizers are not responsible for any attendee's other related expenses, including hotel and travel.
Can I transfer my registration to another person?
If you register and then are unable to attend, you may transfer your registration to another person.
Please email us to substitute another person. Please try to transfer your registration no later than October 15 if possible.
Is there a way to add a discount code after I completed my registration?
