Full refunds of the registration fee, less a cancellation charge as stated in the conference Registration Form (which can be found at the event home page on our website), will only be made if you give notice of cancellation at least three months prior to the first day of the conference.

3. Non-attendance

3.1. We are not liable to you for any non-attendance of your delegates for any reason, including, but not limited to, bad weather, industrial action, sickness or bereavement. We recommend that your delegates' travel plans provide for enough time to account for any inclement weather or industrial action and that appropriate insurance is obtained prior to the conference to recompense for any financial loss you incur as a result of your delegate being unable to travel.
