Terms and Conditions

Payment Policy

Full payment is required within seven days of the invoice date and must be received prior to the conference dates.
We will accept mastercard, visa and American Express for online payments. A processing fee of 2% will apply to the registrations made with Mastercard and Visa and 3.5% for Amex.
Late fees will apply to any outstanding invoices after the conclusion of the conference.
If your payment is not received ahead of a particular deadline, the higher rate will then apply to the registrations. For example, to benefit from the early bird rates, your payment would need to be received by the early bird deadline, after this the higher fees will apply.
