SOCIAL Program

We recommend booking your social function tickets during your registration, even when included in the registration cost.

While we appreciate circumstances may change, we cannot guarantee late requests to attend social functions. Attendance numbers are required in advance of the meeting, and the earlier we are advised of your attendance the better.

The social functions have limited availability, tickets will be allocated on a first-in, first-served basis.  If a function is showing as FULL during registration, you will have an opportunity to place yourself on the waiting list for a ticket.
