Can I share my registration with another person?
Splitting or sharing a registration is not allowed under any circumstance. Even if you only want to attend part of the conference, you cannot share your registration with another delegate.
Can I register to attend just one session in the conference?
No. Registrations are for the full day, which covers attendance to the entire day’s program. Delegates cannot register to attend a single session or a half-day session.
Do I need to select my sessions prior to the day?
During registration we ask that you indicate which tracks you would like to attend on the day, this helps us with ensuring we have adequate capacity for popular sessions. However, on the day you are free to attend any sessions across the three tracks available.
When do registrations close?
Tickets are available until 5pm, Friday 12 September 2025, unless sold out prior.
