Registration

If a person is registering on behalf of a delegate/s it is the responsibility of that person to notify the delegate of the terms and conditions of registering, for which they will be agreeing to on the behalf of the delegate. Responsibility also includes providing full details of the delegate’s registration details and acknowledging the conference venue(s) may require registrants to show evidence of a COVID-19 double vaccination documentation.

To qualify for early bird registration, registration fees must be paid in full by the terms stated on the tax invoice or by commencement of standard registration. Registration fees received after this time will automatically change to the standard convention rate. Registration fees are based on date of payment receipt, not the date of which the registration form was completed.

All convention fees must be paid in full prior to the convention.
