Relative to marketing collateral and in an effort to be more sustainable ATEC:
- Encourages all delegates to "go green" and bring their marketing collateral electronically on their iPad/laptop. Please ensure you come fully charged on the day. There will be charging points within the room.
- Discourages the need for prizes, giveaways etc. in an effort to reduce waste and our carbon footprint for the event.
- Advises that no pull up banners or display signage is permitted.
Please click here to read our cancellation terms and conditions.
Can I transfer my registration to another person?
- Seller and other non-buyer delegates - yes!
- Buyers - it may be possible, but given travel arrangements have now been confirmed, there will likely be costs associated with making alternative arrangements.
- In both cases, please contact events@atec.net.au to discuss
