Due to security measures, conference registrations are not shareable between delegates.
Registered delegates can nominate a colleague to attend in their place by contacting the event team directly (substitutions can be made and are subject to a £25 + VAT charge).
This must be arranged a minimum of 10 working days prior to the conference.
Whilst we are doing everything that we can to ensure our events go ahead as planned, due to the current climate we would strongly advise delegates who are travelling to our events to book accommodation with free cancellations and/or trains with flexible tickets, in case the event is cancelled or postponed.
Freshwater UK reserves the right to cancel any event. We aim to give as much prior notice as possible. The full registration fee will be refunded unless a mutually convenient transfer within a 12 month period can be arranged. In the event that Freshwater UK postpones an event for any reason and the delegate is unable to attend on the rescheduled date, you will receive a full refund of the fee paid.
Freshwater UK shall assume no liability in the event a conference is cancelled, rescheduled or postponed due to an unintended event, Act of God, unforeseen occurrence or any other event that renders performance of this conference impracticable, illegal or impossible. For purposes of this clause, a fortuitous event shall include, but not be limited to: war, fire, labour strike, extreme weather or other emergency.
Please note that while speakers and topics were confirmed at the time of publishing, circumstances beyond the control of the organisers may necessitate substitutions, alterations or cancellations of the speakers and/or topics. As such, Freshwater UK reserves the right to alter or modify the advertise speakers and/or topics if necessary without any liability to you whatsoever. Any substitutions or alterations will be updated on our web page as soon as possible.
