A. Delegate Tickets are *£180 (GBP). This includes two amazing conference days and all catering. *This represents £90 per day inclusive of education & updating, entertainment, a great exhibition, interactive skills stations, delegate bags, 12 CPD hours that can be used for re-validation,  arrival, morning and afternoon refreshments as well as a delicious lunch. This represents incredible value for money for every delegate. 

Q. Can I pay for my ticket with instalments?

Q. Do we offer student discounts on the ticket cost?

A. Yes you can! Instalments of *£50 per month for 4 months can be made. See the conference booking page to set up your plan. *We are charged additional payment processing fees by PayPal in order to provide this option to delegates. the payment plan price includes these costs                                             

A. No we dont. It costs us the same for each delegate in terms of venue hire, speakers costs, catering, av. etc.. If we offer student discounts in effect the full price delegates are subsidising student attendance. We do not believe this creates equity in provision of the conference for all delegates as many people that are not students are on a tight budget or low income.

A. Yes we do. Please contact us for further information
