Name Badges

It would be appreciated if delegates wear their name badge at all times during the Congress as this identifies them as eligible for catering and entry to sessions. If you are sharing a name badge with another member from your organisation please leave this badge with staff at the registration desk and complete the name change form to allow the badge to be collected by the next delegate. Please keep the name badge insert as this has your certificate of attendance.
