Registration
Please note: registration is free, but will guarantee you a place - as long as you turn up on time. We ask that all guests arrive 10 minutes before the event starts. If guests haven’t arrived a couple of minutes before the speaker is introduced, we will allow their spots to go to those on a reserve list of attendees, so please do try to be on time, or we won’t be able to keep your reservation.
Fully-booked events
(The following does not apply to the David Yates closing talk.) Many of our events are selling out this year, but as with any event (especially those that are free to enter), there are bound to be some people who cannot make it on the day. So we will operate reserve lists for those who turn up to the venue around 15 minutes beforehand. If, a couple of minutes before the event is due to start, there are spare seats available, you will be able to go into the room.
David Yates – closing talk
The closing event is the only event that is pre-registration only. To ensure that no seats go un-sat-upon, and no drinks go un-drunk, we will over-issue tickets to a small extent to account for no-shows on the day. We will have drinks beforehand and it will be a great opportunity to socialise with both professionals and the next generation of talent in lovely surroundings, with the chance to hear from a thoroughly inspirational speaker too. All for free!
