Registration – Individual

If you wish to register an individual use Individual Registration.

This process can be used for multiple people however they are not linked and will be invoiced individually.

Registration – Groups

If you wish to register and manage a group, please use Group Registration. This will enable you to manage the group (even if you are not attending) and receive one invoice. You will also be able to log back in at any time to check, change or add registrations for your group.

For either process you have the option of registering now and paying later, or may elect to pay via credit card at the conclusion of the process. You may change delegate names at any time after registering. If you do not know names now but want to reserve/pay for registrations, please use something like ‘Delegate TBA1’, ‘Delegate TBA 2’ etc and update names at a future date.

If you are sponsor or exhibitor you will be sent a separate link for registering your staff to attend the conference. If you do not have that link, please contact Bradley Hayden.
