If you intend to come to a 3GPP meeting, you must register in advance. This is a common courtesy to the host, who can ensure the meeting room and facilities are tailored to the expected number of participants. Furthermore, until you have registered, you will not be able to check in and thus ensure the organization you represent will acquire or maintain voting rights.
To register, find the meeting in the Meetings tab of the 3GU portal (https://portal.3gpp.org). In the Registration column, click "Not registered" then follow the instructions on the subsequent pages.
When you have successfully registered, you will receive a confirmation email. You must retain this email (or at least its contents) because it contains important information you will need when confirming your participation at the meeting itself. You can check that your registration has been recorded by looking at the persons list for the meeting, via the 3GU portal. Moreover, the text "Not registered" next to the meeting on the portal Meetings tab should now show "Registered".
When you registered your intention to participate in a 3GPP meeting, you will have received a confirmation email. This message contains a token - an alphanumeric string - which cryptically identifies
The email also contains the URL of a page on the local meeting server where you can enter this token to register your presence. It is essential that you do enter the token into the box in that page and click to confirm. If you do not check in via the local web page, your presence will not be recorded, and you will not acquire or retain voting rights for the organization you represent.
This electronc check in procedure replaces the old sign-in paper, which will no longer serve the purpose of confirming your presence.
The meeting host is not required to print a badge for you: you are obliged to print your own, using a hyperlink in the meeting registration confirmation email. It is available in two sizes (both on the same page) - one suitable for printing on A4, the other on US Letter size paper. Choose and cut out the one which suits you.
Meeting hosts will provide a small number of badge holders, but delegates are strongly encouraged to re-use badge holders they have retained from previous 3GPP meetings, thus keeping costs down for the host.
In these days of heightened security, meeting hosts are anxious that everybody using their meeting facilities is legitimate. You will help them in this task by openly wearing your 3GPP meeting badge whenever you are in the meeting room area. Please help us to help them to help you keep safe by wearing your meeting badge. Sometimes hosts will offer incentives to 3GPP delegates such as discounted prices on lunch or even a free drink at the bar. So remember, no badge, no discount!
