Warning - Phishing Emails

We have been alerted of fraudulent emails sent from Global Travel (via booking@globaltravelmanagement.com or support@gtravelhost.com or ops@gtravelhost.com) asking delegates to confirm travel dates for accommodation purposes. This is a spam email. If you receive this email, please do not interact or reply.

The IMC will never ask you to confirm travel plans or cancel purchased accommodation without a cancellation request from you. If you have registered for IMC, you can securely check details of your booking via the confirmation email sent to you from our registration site.

Please be assured that the IMC has not provided participants’ email addresses to this or any other company and does not publish participant emails online, our software partners have confirmed that there has been no breach of data security.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us.

It is no longer possible to register online for IMC 2025.

2025 Registration & Programming Fee

The Registration and Programming fee covers the processing of proposals, production of the programme, staffing costs, proposal management, development and maintenance of software to manage programming, registrations, venue hire, and virtual event platform, as well as ensuring excellent support and facilities are available for all speakers and attendees attending both in person and virtually.

We appreciate that many in our community are facing increased financial pressures. Unfortunately, the IMC is not immune to these pressures, and the overall cost of facilitating the IMC has risen by over 40% since 2019. As the IMC operates on a non-profit basis, it has been necessary to increase rates for 2025 to cover our operating costs. We remain committed to keeping price rises to a minimum, however, to ensure the future stability and continuation of the Congress for years to come, we need to limit our losses and cover as large a proportion of our costs as much as possible.

We continue to support widening participation in IMC through the IMC Bursary Fund, which has awarded 100 bursaries for IMC 2025. As in previous years, reduced registration fees will be available for attendees who are students, retired, unwaged, low-waged, and individuals from low-income countries.

Payment Methods

Payment for registering using the online system is by credit/debit card only and remains the quickest and most secure way to pay for your IMC registration. The secure online booking system accepts Visa and Mastercard. Unfortunately, we are currently unable to process American Express Payments. In exceptional circumstances, we can accept payment via alternative methods.

We can accept payment by credit/debit card over the telephone. We are able to accept Visa or Mastercard but are unable to accept American Express or Electron.

Therefore, if you cannot pay online, you can access this service by completing your registration as normal and making a note of your reference number when you reach the 'Payment' screen. You should then email imc@leeds.ac.uk, including your full name, email address used to register, and this registration number and we will recover your incomplete registration and provide details of when colleagues will be available and the number to call to make payment. Please note that items selected can only be confirmed once payment is received.

If you are unable to pay online or by phone, please contact us as soon as possible so we can make the necessary arrangements for you to pay via bank transfer. Payment via bank transfer, invoice, or any other method will incur an additional fee of £35 per person to cover the additional administrative costs.

We are unable to accept payment by cash, cheque, Diner’s Club, Traveller’s cheques, or Postal Orders.

To discuss paying via an alternative method, please email imc@leeds.ac.uk.

Financial screening to comply with sanction requirements

As a UK education institution, the University of Leeds is legally required to comply with all sanctions regimes imposed by UK law by conducting due diligence screening.

To ensure compliance with financial sanctions and other regulations, we may respectfully request delegates provide information in advance of registration. This is part of the controls implemented by the University to ensure that no relevant financial sanctions regimes are breached, and to ensure our bank will accept payments from prospective delegates.

On supply of this information we will screen nationals, or residents, and those working for or whose attendance is funded by organisations or individuals based in broadly restricted countries and regions, as defined by our bank, which include Belarus, Cuba, Democratic Republic of Korea, Iran, Region of Crimea, Russia, Syria, Ukraine, and Venezuela, also checking the source of funds of those delegates to ensure our bank can accept payment. This list is subject to change.

The screening process requires you to complete a secure online form to ensure compliance with sanctions regimes, and also to ensure our bank will accept payments from you or your funding source. It is your responsibility to make sure any associated third parties are aware that you are sharing this data with the University. The University of Leeds will store this data securely in accordance with its data protection policy. The University of Leeds will store this data securely. We may share this data with our professional advisors, including our lawyers, bankers and insurers, where necessary in the course of the professional services that they provide to us. The data is shared with them securely as laid out in our Privacy Notice.

When you register online, you will be asked if you are a national, or resident, or are working for or having your attendance funded by organisations or individuals based in broadly restricted countries and regions listed above. Individuals who are affected should indicate 'Yes, please send me screening information'. In this case, you will still be able to register, your bookings (for accommodation, meals, events etc) will be reserved for you, but we will not process payment until the screening process is complete. Following completion of the online registration form, affected delegates will be sent further details, instructions and a link to the screening questionnaire which is a short, secure online form. The questions asked are limited to your name, email address, date of birth, nationality, permanent home address, details of the person/organisation making the payment, and the method of payment. We ask that this is completed within a week of receiving the instructions, so we can ensure the process is completed as quickly as possible.

If you are a resident, or national, or employed or funded by an organisation based in any of the broadly restricted countries and regions listed above, please email imc@leeds.ac.uk for further details.

Registration is conditional upon satisfactory financial screening, where applicable.

If you have any queries about submitting the requested information, please contact imc@leeds.ac.uk
