Note: Sign-up opens on 2 October 2019 . After that date, you can only sign up for events and see your personal schedule if you are logged in and registered.
Workshops Please note that most workshops have limited capacity, therefore participants are required to sign up for workshops. You can only sign up for one workshop per time slot but you can be on the waiting list of a preferred workshop while signed up for another one. You will then receive an email when a spot is available.
We ask that you only attend workshops for which you have signed up and have been allocated a place. If you would like to attend a workshop that you have not signed up for, please wait until the start time has passed, and only join the session if there are spaces available.
Restricted meetings Sessions are open to all delegates unless marked 'Restricted ' to a specific target audience.
