the JSALT2025 is coming. We are excited to welcome you to Brno, Czech Republic. To ensure everything runs smoothly and avoid complications during your stay, please make sure to complete the following steps as soon as possible:
1. Obtain Travel Insurance (mandatory)
You are required to arrange travel insurance before your departure, including:

These are necessary in case of health emergencies, urgent dental treatment, or accidental damage during your stay. This is a standard requirement for longer events and helps ensure your safety and peace of mind.
How to get it: Simply choose the best Insurance company in your country

travel insurance (with items above at least) >> be sure to request geo-validity for Czechia (or EU) and time-validity for the whole stay >> pay (service is not valid if not paid).
