6. Events Beyond Our Control

We are not liable for delays or disruption caused by things outside our reasonable control, such as natural disasters, extreme weather, pandemics, government restrictions, venue unavailability or strikes. In such circumstances, refunds will not be issued, but we will make every reasonable effort to reschedule or provide an alternative.

7. Programme Changes

Speakers, exhibitors, times, floor plans and the venue may change. A speaker change or cancellation does not entitle you to a refund or discount. We will tell you about significant changes as soon as we can.

Sections 8 to 10 apply to everyone at the event, including exhibitor and sponsor staff. Be professional and respectful. We may refuse entry to, or remove, anyone who is disruptive, offensive or breaches these terms, without a refund. Only registered exhibitors and sponsors may sell, promote or hand out materials. Don't record sessions for commercial use without our written approval.

9. Health and Safety

You must follow our health and safety requirements and those of the venue at all times, including any instructions from our staff or venue management. To the extent permitted by New Zealand law, we are not liable for any loss, damage or injury at the event, unless caused by our negligence.
