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.
Yes, if you were unable to book your place prior to the Congress taking place, you can still register for on demand access and pay through the normal booking process.
You will be able to watch all Congress recordings and access all content on demand until 31 December 2021. Once payment has been made you will automatically be sent your joining links 20 minutes after. Please note that these will come from a NO-REPLY email address so please check your spam/junk folders.
