Registration Information

Online registration has now closed. You can still complete the registration form and bring it along to the Conference to register.

Social function tickets can be purchased (if still available) when you register at the Conference.

As numbers may have to be limited for certain functions, tickets will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis and requests for tickets for unregistered guests will be granted at the discretion of the Head of Conferences.

Guests

No member of the legal profession may be registered as a guest. Only registered guests (ie those paying the guest registration fee) are eligible to participate in the social programme and excursions, except with the prior agreement of the Head of Conferences.

Guests may not attend working sessions with the exception of the Cultural Issues programme on Monday 18 September.
