You'll need to arrive around 30 minutes before your session starts, so we can scan the QR code in your booking confirmation email to register you.
You'll be able to book a place for yourself and one guest on the subject session. To ensure safe venue capacities, we’ll be unable to accommodate any additional visitors.
If you’re running late for your subject activities, head to one of our Information Hub tents spread around campus where event staff will be able to assist you.
