FAQs

Yes all sessions will be recorded, however, some presentations will not be available post-event due to patient privacy. The vast majority will be made available post-event to all attendees.

We hope that you can join us in-person, however, should you have to isolate as a close-contact or a positive case of COVID-19, your registration will revert to a virtual registration so that you can join from the comfort of where you are isolating.

The safety of our in-person attendees is paramount. As such we are implementing the following measures to make the event as safe as possible:

  • Increased cleaning in high traffic areas
  • N95 masks will be available for attendees
  • More to be announced shortly
