Attention!
Currently selling tickets for the conference and social programme events and workshops!
At Metal 2022 we take your health and safety seriously, and will do our very best to ensure the conference is as safe as possible for everybody involved. With regards to COVID-19 we abide by the regulations and guidelines of the Finnish Government, which can be found here, and follow the development of the pandemic closely.
Please note that there is no one-day registration rate for Metal 2022. In addition to that, and due to the venue’s limited capacity, we are currently not offering Accompanying Person tickets. In case you are disabled and require an assistant, please get in touch with us at info@metal2022.org.
Conference Rates
Below you can find the fees for attending the Metal2022 conference. All prices are in Euros (EUR).
Both in-person and virtual participants will have full access to our virtual platform, where the streaming of the sessions and lectures will take place. In addition to the streaming and recordings of the sessions, the platform will also hold a link for easy downloading of the conference proceedings, and a virtual poster gallery. The virtual platform will open a week before the beginning of the conference and will remain open for a month after the conference is over.
Virtual attendees, as well as those in-person attendees who wish to do so, can log in to the virtual platform and submit their questions for the lecturers in real time through our online chat. These questions will be curated by the Metal2022 and delivered to the speakers at the end of their lectures, so they can be answered during the questions and answers part of the sessions.
Service charges (3 €) are included in the prices shown below. Both card and invoice payment options are available at the conference’s online shop, but the invoice option carries an additional fee of 12,40 €/invoice that will be added to the final payable amount. The invoice needs to be paid within 7 days from the moment the order is placed, after which unpaid orders will be cancelled.

Cancellation and Refunds
We are aware that the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic may strongly affect the possibility of travelling abroad for many attendees. We are looking forward to seeing as many of you as possible in-person, but we understand the situation may still develop and change before the conference. As a result, we would like to assure that:
In case we are forced to organise the event in a 100% virtual format, all in-person registration/event tickets purchased will be either exchanged for an equivalent virtual ticket (and the price difference refunded), or fully refunded, according to the buyer’s wishes.
This means that, if an in-person Early bird Student ticket was originally bought, it may be exchanged for a virtual Early bird Student ticket, and the price difference will be refunded to the buyer. Service charges (3 €/ticket) and possible invoicing charges (12,40 €/invoice) will not be refunded.
In case we are forced to cancel the event altogether, all tickets purchased will be refunded. Service charges (3 €/ticket) and possible invoicing charges (12,40 €/invoice) will not be refunded.
