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].

All changes to the programme can be found on our website.

It is best to check our web programme regularly to see if there are any changes or fully booked courses.

Yes, there will be an exhibition with many great discounts and time for lively exchanges between the participants on-site again.
You can check out here, which exhibitors will be on-site.

We have several cooperations with the societies that are members of ETCMA. As a member of one of these societies you will receive a special discount on the registration fee.

To find out if your society is a member of the umbrella organisation ETCMA, click here:
www.etcma.org/find-a-member

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.
For more information, see the FAQ item "I read the ticket price for AGTCM members is the cheapest. What is the AGTCM, what are the other benefits of a membership and what are the costs?".

You can find an overview of the prices and conditions on our homepage.

The TCM Kongress team is looking for your active support as course tutors to ensure that the largest TCM congress in Europe runs smoothly.

We are looking for course tutors for:

• the admission control at the beginning of the courses and after the breaks
• supervising the speakers
• checking the course equipment
• counting the participants

We offer you a compensation for your work as a course tutor. For organisational reasons, these compensations cannot be offset with the registration fee. Therefore, please book and pay for the congress ticket and your desired course. Payouts for course tutors will be made separately on-site at the end of the congress.

As a course tutor, you will supervise your booked course. The earlier you register for a course, the safer you can be that there is no other course tutor already.

If we have aroused your interest, please write to kursbetreuer(at)tcm-kongress.de.
For further questions, please contact support(at)tcm-kongress.de.
