On Tuesday, 17 September, we will enjoy music, food, birthday cake and more to celebrate and thank our unique CERN community and our families.
To prepare for the CERN70 Community Event, we answer some key questions:
1) REGISTRATION: Can I still register to attend?
Yes, by popular demand the registration deadline has been extended to Monday, 9 September at 11.59 p.m. CEST. Click here to register.
2) FOOD VOUCHERS AND ACCESS CARDS: How do I get my food vouchers and CERN70 Guest access cards in advance?
Bracelets with food and drink vouchers and CERN70 Guest access cards will be distributed to registered persons at the CERN Community Support Centre (Building 33) from 9 to 17 September, Monday to Friday, from 8 a.m. to 12 noon and from 1 to 5 p.m.
You only need a CERN70 Guest access card if you are bringing a guest who does not have a CERN access card. Visitor passes will not be allowed.
