What if I don't have 2 days to spare? Or if I can't attend at all? How else can I learn about the topics being discussed?

There are four answers to this this:

  1. Can you afford not be at this conference? During these 2 days you can make years of contacts and only by registering will you have access to our online networking centre which will allow you to keep in touch with everyone else who attends. You will also miss out on, quite literally, hundreds of years of cumulative experience, case studies and industry knowledge presented in a compelling and succinct manner.
  2. If, despite compelling reasons to be there the full 2 days, you cannot make it, there is a possibility of supplying you with a one-day pass. However this is strictly limited and cannot be guaranteed.
  3. If you are simply unable to attend yourself, you should send somebody you trust and want to help develop in the company. This will be a completely unrivalled chance for them to increase their knowledge and improve how they do their job. In fact even if you can make it, you should bring your key colleagues along!
  4. Failing any availability from any of your staff, you can purchase the conference recordings on CD after the event.
