You agree to comply with all reasonable instructions issued by us or the venue owners at the conference.

  2. Ticket prices and payment
    1. We reserve the right to change ticket prices at any time, but changes will not affect registrations which have already been confirmed.
    2. UK registrations are subject to current rate VAT.
    3. Where we have invoiced for your ticket, payment must be received in full and in cleared funds no later than 48 hours before the conference.

    1. We reserve the right to change the format, speakers, participants, content, timing, venue location and programme or any other aspect of the conference at any time and for any reason, whether or not due to a Force Majeure Event, in each case without liability. Where we alter the time or location of the conference, we will provide you with reasonable notice and offer you the choice of either a credit for a future event (up to the value of sums paid by you in respect of the conference) or the opportunity to attend the conference as varied.
