Attending personnel
If you have not already done so, please confirm the names, email addresses & dietary/ access requirements for your attending company personnel. We require these details by Friday 26th July 2024 at the latest.
Attending personnel are welcome to join the lectures during the conferences, space permitting. We would ask that delegates are allowed to take their seats first. Capacity in the workshops will be limited and so we do ask that no personnel join these sessions unless spaces are available.
Attendance at the meeting by your company personnel is dependant on the level of sponsorship chosen by your organisation – 6 people total for Gold Sponsors, 4 for Silver Sponsors, 2 for Bronze Sponsors. These numbers will be strictly adhered to. Please note that no accommodation is included in any packages and you will need to organise this yourself. All attendees are very welcome to attend the drinks reception and dinner on 4th Sep. There is an additional charge of £65 per person for this, including drinks; please contact info@abcd.care to book dinner places.
