Q: How do I register?

A: You do not need to register for the conference beforehand. All staff will be required to sign in via the registration desks found in the sports hall. This is a critical fire evacuation requirement. If staff leave site during the day they should sign out and sign back in as appropriate.

Q. What should I bring?

Just yourself and a pad of paper / pen to make notes. Any other materials or equipment needed for workshops will be provided. You may want to bring a laptop if you have opted into a breakout session that is IT or digitally focused. 

Q. What is the dress code?

A. This event is informal so please come dressed in comfortable clothing. However, please note that we will have a professional photographer taking pictures during the day.

There are two types of workshop taking place during the day.
