COSTS


Below are the registration and accommodation costs for this year’s conference. As this an ‘experience conference’ and our first multi-day conference in over 4 years, we believe that the costs represent the best ‘bang for buck’ option for our members and delegates. In keeping with the ‘service’ theme at this world-class facility, we have subsidised our registration fee. While the subsidy comes at a elevated cost to the society, we believe it is worth the investment to ensure our conference is unforgettable. It is an experience conference after all.
