Shared Registrations

Shared Registrations will only be permitted if pre-arranged with the Conference Secretariat. ALL names and who they are sharing with, must be lodged with the Secretariat at least a week prior to the Conference being attended, to ensure name badges are produced. Note: If two or more people share the one registration then only one conference satchel will be issued. Only one person at a time can be in attendance at the conference per shared registration. This will be monitored. SHARED REGISTRATIONS DO NOT TAKE THE PLACE OF ‘DAY REGISTRATION’. Therefore a delegate cannot register for the full conference and split the days with another person.
