General Information
CONFERENCE INFORMATION
How do I book and confirm my Accommodation?
Check out the accommodation information on this website. Once you have chosen a suitable hotel, you can book your hotel with your registration.
Accommodation is quoted in NZD. In relation to booking your accommodation we MUST receive a credit card number to hold the room. This credit card number will be passed onto the hotel as guarantee of your stay and will be charged upon check out per regular hotel arrangements.
If you arrive 24 hours later than your indicated arrival day you may find that you have forfeited your deposit – if you know that your arrival will be later please contact the hotel directly and advise them so they hold your room.
I have Additional Needs
When you register, please complete the Special Diet or Access section when you register. All catering venues will be advised of any special diet preferences as indicated on your registration form. Please indicate this to the catering staff at each venue when you arrive- they will be happy to assist in providing you with your appropriate food.
If you have access requirements we can recommend suitable accommodation and make suitable arrangements at the conference venues for access to sessions and events.
Where do I register when I arrive?
The Registration Desk will be located in the main conference area. Please direct any questions you may have regarding registration, attendance, accommodation or social functions to the staff at this desk. The Registration Desk will be open throughout the conference.

Can I Purchase Additional Tickets to the Conference Social Program
