NovoNations made the decision to migrate the NovoNations website to a new platform that offers members a more user-friendly experience with a much simpler process for managing event bookings. For security reasons, we were not able to migrate members’ account payment information over to the new website and a result, members now need to follow the steps in our registration guide in order to continue their NovoNations membership and be able to book events in the future.

There is quite a lot of manual work involved on our side to make the migration to the new website and as a result, there might be some human error. If you think your subscription is not correct, please reach out to info@novonations.dk with the starting date of your membership and your subscription plan type.

If you have a 3-year membership subscription, and are experiencing issues with the sign-up process, please attach the email sent to us when purchasing the plan and write to info@novonations.dk for support.
