Cancellation Policy

All cancellations or registration changes must be made in writing to the Conference Managers at annie@outshine.co.nz

Cancellations made prior to Tuesday October 19, 2021 will be refunded less NZ$100.00 to cover administration costs. No registration refunds for full cancellations will be made after this date, and refunds for tickets to the social functions will be assessed on a case-by-case basis. You may elect to reassign your registration, in which case please contact the Conference Managers with the replacement delegate contact details.

Should your circumstances change, and you wish to attend on-site in Rotorua having registered virtually, or, need to change from an on-site registration to a virtual registration for whatever reason, you are able to do so at the current dated early or standard registration rate until November 3, 2021. You will be required to either pay, or, will be refunded the difference in registration pricing at the advertised current dated rate (early or standard). From November 3, 2021, if you change from on-site to virtual attendance, you will not receive a refund for the difference in fees as the conference will have incurred non-refundable costs for your on-site attendance.

If you have registered to attend on-site in Rotorua and the Organisers are unable to hold an on-site conference due to circumstances out of their control, your registration will be transferred to an early bird virtual registration with the difference in registration cost refunded to you.

If, for reasons beyond the control of the Organising Committee, the conference is cancelled outright, the registration fees will be refunded less a NZ$100.00 administration fee.

Virtual Conference Platform

Portions of the NZ Sepsis Conference 2021 are being delivered virtually, and as such, the Organising Committee and Conference Managers will provide clear guidelines on best-operating systems to use for optimum participation in the event for both attendees and sponsors. The Conference Managers will take no responsibility or accept requests for a refund if the guidance for viewing is not followed.

Health & Safety

The Conference Managers, in conjunction with the Organising Committee and the Venue, are committed to providing and maintaining a safe and healthy conference environment for all attendees, and to providing the information needed to achieve this. The Conference Managers, in conjunction with the Organising Committee and the Conference Venue, will take responsibility for providing health and safety procedures whilst on-site, however, all conference attendees need to be aware of their own responsibilities. Each attendee is encouraged to play a vital and responsible role in maintaining a safe and healthy conference environment through:
