To help you afford the 8IATC, we've worked hard to gain sponsors and keep costs down. We've also worked to make sure there are limited extra costs. Early Bird registrations have closed and Volunteer places are filled. Standard registrations now apply for both presenters and delegates alike. We trust you'll find standard rates great value.
If you need another reason to commit, consider this: Because these conferences only happen once every three years, it's unlikely we'll see another IATC on Australia shores for 20 years or more!
