Registration will open soon and you will receive a password to enable you to complete the registration process. In the meantime, you may wish to spend some time checking that you have everything in place to meet the entry requirements into the USA, if you are attending from overseas - see "What are the entry requirements into the USA?" above. When you register, full terms and conditions will be available, which you will need to accept before completing your booking.

Check-in
Official hotel check-in time is 16:00. However if you can notify us of your arrival time at the hotel we will endeavour to have your room ready, subject to availability.

Check-out
Official hotel check-out time on your day of departure is 11:00. Any extensions to this should be agreed with the hotel reception directly during your stay.

If a friend or colleague is also attending and you would like to share a room, please add his/her name to the ‘special requests’ section of the online registration. It is important that both attendees do this as we will only match based on mutual consent. Alternatively, we will pair you with a guest of the same gender, similar age and country of origin wherever possible.

The dress code throughout the event including the conference and dinners is business casual.

The conference will close after the gala dinner on Sunday 20th November.  If you are staying at the hotel on Sunday night you can depart at your leisure on Monday 21st November (breakfast is included in your accommodation booking).
