No, there will be no charge to attend the conference for those in the public sector.

Access to the conference will be restricted to those working in Information Rights, unless they are guest speakers.

The conference is extremely popular, and places are limited. We will initially restrict the numbers of those who attend from each public sector organisation to 2. However, all further people from the same organisation will be added to a reserve list. We will confirm places and contact you if we need to include a reserve list for your organisation later this year.

Full details of how we will use use your data are outlined in our privacy policy.
