Verbal disruption of the Conference is not permitted either in disruptive verbal or written communication between or towards delegates/speakers or during presentations at the event.

Insurance

Registration fees do not include insurance of any kind. It is strongly recommended  that all delegates take out their own travel insurance and medical insurance prior 

to the conference. The policy should include loss of fees through cancellation of  your participation in the conference itself, loss of airfares for any reason, medical  expenses and repatriation should travel arrangements have to be altered. In the event  of industrial disruptions or natural disasters the meeting secretariat cannot accept  responsibility for any financial or other losses incurred by delegates. Nor can the  secretariat take responsibility for injury or damage to property or persons occurring  during the conference or associated activities. Insurance is the responsibility of the individual delegate.

 

 

Should, for any reason outside the control of PCA, the Venue or speakers change, or the Conference be cancelled, PCA will endeavour to reschedule the Conference. In this instance, you will indemnify and hold PCA harmless from and against any and all costs, damages and expenses. PCA does not accept responsibility for, and the delegate indemnifies PCA against, any costs, charges or fines incurred by the delegate in the process of attending the Conference. Agreement to these Terms and Conditions indicates acceptance of this indemnity.

 

 

PCA will not be liable to the delegate for any loss suffered, nor be in default under these Terms and Conditions for any delay, failure or interruption resulting directly or indirectly from industrial action, blackouts, fire, war, terrorism, civil or military unrest, explosions, earthquakes, floods, labour disputes, acts of God, epidemic or pandemic (such as the COVID-19 pandemic) or any other event or cause beyond the control of PCA, or if the attendance at the Conference is adversely impacted by any of the causes nominated by this clause. In all such circumstances PCA shall be entitled to retain all payments paid by the delegate. An event under clause will not affect or prejudice the right of the PCA to pursue outstanding payments owed to PCA by the delegate.
