A quick reminder that our events are thoroughly planned in advance and we often book paid speakers and trainers well ahead of time, and no-shows cost us in wasted hours and funding.

If you have booked onto an event but are no longer able to make it, please remember to send us a quick e-mail at [email protected] so we can make arrangements and hopefully re-allocate your place.
