COVID-19 Protection Framework

Entry will be subject to any conditions set at the time of the conference by the COVID-19 Protection Framework introduced by the New Zealand Government.  Currently there are no restrictions to be considered.

Registering to attend the conference delegates will acknowledge and understand that this may change and failure to comply with any restrictions that might be in place could affect their ability to attend the conference.  We will, of course, update this if there are any changes.

Registration at the conference also confirms delegates acknowledge the need to adhere to any restrictions relevant to COVID restrictions at the time and that COVID-19 guidelines are subject to change.
