Visitor Pass
Who Can Register as a Visitor?
In the past, the ISF World Seed Congresses were restricted to ISF members only. However, since 2024, we have opened our doors to non-members to experience the congress. Visitor Pass holders can access the exhibition area, plenary room, and social events (depending on the day), but NOT the trading floor or the private meetings rooms.
The Visitor Pass is intended for selected attendees from outside the seed business but within its radius. These include:
- Students
- Journalists
- Government representatives
- Value chain partners
- Partner organizations
- Farmers
For our delegates: think about your key clients and business partners who would like to access to the congress exhibition for a day upon your invitation (if you are bringing more than 10 visitors, a package can be arranged).
“I work for a seed company and would like to come for one day only.” Unfortunately, the Visitor Pass is not an option for you. If you are from a seed company, you will have to come as a full delegate, see above.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact ISF Secretariat at infowsc@worldseed.org
The overall floor plans are available at the Floor Plan section on the right-hand column.
As registration is closed and if you would like to register onsite you have to proof that you are part of your company or university.

| Visitor Pass | Registration fee |
| 27 May – Non-member, no seed company (Opening Ceremony & Welcome Party included) | EUR 650 |
| 28 May – Non-member, no seed company | EUR 650 |
