Detailed joining instructions will be sent out approximately four weeks before the event, with a reminder one week before. Look out for these emails, including in your spam or junk email folders, and please contact us at conference@cstuk.org.uk if you do not receive any information.
Wherever possible resources will be uploaded to a secure site for delegates to access after the event for a limited time. In some cases this may not be possible for copyright reasons, or where video or other interactive elements mean sharing is not practicable.
The conference is a one-day event and does not include overnight accommodation.
For those delegates who wish to travel the night before, preferential rates at nearby hotels can be booked through our event partner Reservation Highway.
We want our events to be as accessible as possible, and we will do our best to accommodate any dietary or access requirements delegates may have. Details of these will be collected through the booking process, or please contact us at conference@cstuk.org.uk if you would like to discuss your specific requirements.
Our professional community events are relatively informal, but are still professional events. We recommend a dress code of smart casual or business clothes.
By booking a place at the conference, the Terms and Conditions have been accepted.
If you are no longer able to attend the event, we are happy to accept a substitute delegate from the same organisation. Please provide as much notice as possible for any name changes and contact us at conference@cstuk.org.uk - where there are any resulting dietary or other additional requirements, please let us know and we will do our best to meet these in the time available.
If neither you nor a colleague are unable to attend, we may be able to offer a full or partial refund. This depends on the amount of notice you can give, and reflects our fixed costs and potential to re-sell your place:
We may occasionally need to cancel or reschedule events due to circumstances outside of our control. If this is necessary, we will contact you to explain the reasons for the change and the options for your booking.
Thank you to our community supporters
