Conference Guide
This guide is designed to assist conference delegates in planning their conference days, and we strive to cover all essential details. While it serves as an excellent starting point, it is important to recognise that diverse communities are composed of individuals with unique experiences, perspectives, and preferences, which may vary from person to person.
We encourage delegates to consider their personal needs and adjust their participation accordingly.
The conference guide will be available soon.
