Is my registration/ticket transferrable?

The meeting is for Socitm members registered with their base in the London & South regions, our speakers and sponsors and a limited number of invited guests. Please contact the host if you'd like someone to attend in your place.

Can I update my registration information?

This isn't a problem. Please contact the host.

Do I have to bring my printed ticket to the event?

No. We know who you are! (seriously though its not a massive event and we don't 'do' registration)
