Attendees are required to have a valid ticket for entry to the Event and proof of apprenticeship status is
required for holders of the lower priced apprentice ticket. Tickets will not be refunded after 1 May
2023, however, they may be transferred into another name. The Organiser has limited its liability to the
extent permitted by law, including where a ticket cannot be cancelled, a valid ticket or proof of
apprenticeship cannot be provided, the Event is rescheduled or relocated or the Attendee does not
attend the Event for any reason, this may limit your ability to make a claim for loss, but only to the
extent permitted by law.

Importantly, the above brief summary of some features of the terms and conditions does not form part
