We have previously offered day registration, however this year, the Congress will be delivered on a specialist event platform in a very different way from our other online events. It is not possible for us to limit access to part of the content without limiting your experience of Congress as a whole and therefore we can no longer offer day rates.

All content will be available on demand so you will be able to experience much more the of the Congress compared to a face to face event. Once registered you will have access to 100% of the content for up to two months to watch in your own time. 

If you can’t join us live you can watch recordings and access all content on demand. On demand content will be available up to 2 months after the event. If you want to join the Congress on demand you will need to register and pay in advance of Congress taking place. The last date to book for the Congress will be Friday 18 June.
