On your next visit, you can call up your saved list again and continue editing, adding or removing courses -from your mobile phone, tablet or computer. Of course, it is free of charge for you and saving the courses is completely non-binding.
Without a user account, the courses will only be saved locally on your computer, provided you allow cookies.

Generally, we endeavour to obtain information on the types of treatment from the speakers as early as possible.

You will find the most detailed information about your course in our programme. Each speaker should have provided the following information there:

• Types of treatment (acupuncture, drug therapy, Tuina, etc.)
• Practical experience (all levels of experience, beginner or advanced)

Both on the web programme and in the printed programme book, you will find a note for each course stating in which language it will be held and into which target language it will be translated.

Example:
Congress opening EN [DE]
This means that the opening will be held in English [EN] and translated into German [DE].

You can watch recordings of some of the lectures, courses and seminars of the booked day as a video after the Congress. The recordings are available to you free of charge until 1 September 2021 as part of your paid congress registration. This gives you the chance to watch more courses and learn even more from the congress contents.
A great advantage for all participants of the TCM Kongress Rothenburg.

After 1 September 2021, some of the recordings will be available for purchase.

You can see which courses will be recorded by the camera symbol in the programme.

Yes, there will be an exhibition with great discounts for participants at the online congresses.
We will also offer digital meeting rooms and consultation hours with the exhibitors.

The AGTCM is the "Arbeitsgemeinschaft für Klassische Akupunktur und Traditionelle Chinesische Medizin" (Association for Classical Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine).
Click here to go to the AGTCM website, where you will find interesting information for therapists and patients.

Membership in the AGTCM costs 200 Euros per year. If you are not yet a member, you can save up to 300 euros by booking a 5-day ticket, which is considerably more than the annual fee.

But even if you are already a member of another association, AGTCM membership is worthwhile.

If you only do one further training at one of the AGTCM cooperation schools, for which you pay reduced fees as an AGTCM member, you would have already saved more than the annual membership fee.
Click here to go to the information page about the cooperation schools with contact details and an overview of where the schools are located. The schools are located in all directions of Germany, often close to the border and therefore also interesting for therapists from our neighbouring countries.
The AGTCM cooperation schools offer the highest quality standards in TCM training, many of the international lecturers who also hold courses at the TCM Kongress Rothenburg teach at these schools.

Further advantages:

The AGTCM offers its members:

• Representation of their professional interests in public, professional world and politics.
• The opportunity to actively participate in shaping the politics of the association and the profession.
• Legal advice on TCM-related questions in the respective profession.
• Billing advice on questions about fees for non-medical practitioners.
• Reduced fees for participation in the annual TCM Kongress Rothenburg.
• Connection to international professional organisations such as the ETCMA and the WFAS in the TCM network through the membership of the AGTCM e. V.
• Discounted participation in training and further education events of AGTCM cooperation schools.
• Discounted participation in study trips to the Chengdu University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, China.
• Free participation in regional quality circles.
• The purchase of information material on TCM and practice management at cost price.
• Free subscription to the professional journal "Qi" published by "VSM Verlag".
• Professional and political information through newsletters.
• Communication platforms via regional representatives, quality circles and forums on our website.
• The cost-effective creation and management of a website in our therapist web project.

By the way, an additional membership in the AGTCM is also worthwhile for you. If you only take one further training course at one of our AGTCM cooperation schools, for which you pay reduced prices as an AGTCM member, then you have already saved more than the annual membership fee in most cases.
