Tickets are NON-TRANSFERABLE at any time.
Because the event has been over-subscribed in the past, and because of our commitment to allocating tickets on a strictly first-come basis, we can’t allow any transfer of tickets. If you can’t come, or choose not to come, please let us know as soon as possible, and we will arrange for your place to go to the next applicant, or to the next person on our waiting list.

This is entirely optional, but much appreciated.
*We need helpers to welcome attendees on Friday afternoon, hand out badges and programmes, provide a friendly face etc.
*We welcome any pitches for panels, on the assumption you will organise and resource them. We require all panels to consist of at least two people. The Team will then contact you separately to discuss it.
*We welcome anyone to be a contributing panellist, even if the panel has been organised and run by someone else. The team can allocate you to an appropriate panel.
*We welcome panel moderators: where a panel takes the form of a discussion or Q&A, a moderator will introduce the participants, allow the best use of the time allotted, and keep interaction flowing smoothly. The Team is happy to give guidance and support.
