All social function ticket bookings must be finalised by close of business on Wednesday 19 September. After this date all amendments, returns and purchases of social function tickets will only be possible upon arrival at the conference. Tickets returned in person, on-site, will be subject to a 25 per cent administration charge, and a refund will only be made if the ticket is resold. All refunds will be made from the London office after the conference. Please note that new ticket purchases will be subject to availability at the conference.
The IBA does not mark up ticket prices or make a profit from social functions. Dining in a large group will sometimes cost more than dining individually because of additional costs such as room hire, transport, decoration, etc. All social function ticket prices are inclusive of VAT which is irrecoverable.
A full list of committee social functions and a booking form will be sent to all delegates.
The conference dress code is business attire for working sessions and smart casual for social events unless otherwise stated.
