Please note that places are limited and bookings will be on a first-come, first-served basis although as this event covers a wide area and we want to ensure all regional HEIs have a chance to attend we reserve the right to limit numbers from institutions requesting a large number of places. Where this occurs we will place names on a waiting list and notify you if space becomes available.
Places are limited so please register for a place early to avoid disappointment.
