Member events

Due to a number of delegates registering but not turning up at some events last year we are introducing a nonattendance charge at this and a number of other events. If you register and are unable to make the event please let us know up to 48 hours in advance so we can cancel your place for free and offer it to someone else.

You can also transfer the place to someone else in your organisation. If cancellation is made less than 48 hours in advance or you don’t attend on the day a charge of £40 +VAT will be applied which needs to be paid within 30 days.
