All Access Passes for the conference are issued exclusively to individual attendees and are non-transferable. This means you cannot share your pass with others, such as attending on Tuesday and sending someone else in your place on Wednesday.
For safety and organisational reasons, we’ve tailored dietary arrangements and emergency contacts specifically for each registered attendee. Sharing your pass compromises this, and if identified, you may be required to purchase an additional single-day pass or gala dinner ticket.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation in helping us create a secure and enjoyable experience for all attendees.
