PARTNER
PROGRAM
Registration for the Partners Program includes the following three activities detailed below.
To maximise the opportunity for everyone to attend their preferred activities, each activity will be run twice. Should registrations be especially high for any particular option, NECA will attempt to arrange
additional sessions.
If minimum numbers are not met for a specific activity, NECA reserves the right to move attendees into alternative time slots.
Lunch will be available for all partners registered for the partners program in the conference venue, PW1, prior to or after each of these activities, scheduled for Saturday 23 March and Monday 25 March.
Your registration for the partner events is required by 8 March.

many years earlier.

Cancellations
Please note if minimum numbers for any program session are not achieved by 8 March 2024 the activity will not be able to go ahead or NECA reserves the right to move attendees into alternative time slots.
