Closing party
Madinat Jumeirah Resort

A sanctuary of Arabian essence and a warm welcome awaits you at the closing party, located at the Madinat Jumeirah - a true expression of ‘old Arabia’. A time when wind-towers defined the city’s silhouette and provided a welcome sight to returning fishermen, travellers and tradesmen sailing homeward on the Gulf. Come and experience a modern Arabian style dinner at this unique hideaway offering a window into a world rich in culture and faithful to time honoured traditions. From ancient trade routes to an international hub, this is a place famed for its hospitality and peaceful welcome. Transport will not be provided

Social function tickets will NOT be confirmed until full payment is received at the IBA office. If full payment is not received by Friday 30
September, then ticket allocation will be released without further notice. Tickets, where relevant, must be purchased for children over 13
years old. Some social functions may not be suitable for young children and, if this is the case, the IBA reserves the right not to admit them.

Ticket amendments and returns
All social function ticket bookings must be finalised by close of business on Wednesday 19 October. After this date all amendments,
returns and purchases of social function tickets will only be possible upon arrival at the conference. Please note that new ticket purchases will be subject to availability at the conference. Refunds, subject to a 25 per cent administration charge, for returned tickets, will only be made if the ticket is resold. All refunds will be made from the London office after the conference.

Social function prices
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.

Beverages
Alcohol will not be served at any of the lunches taking place at the DICEC or World Trade Club.

Committee socials
A full list of committee social functions and a booking form will be sent to all delegates.

Dress code
The conference dress code is business attire for working sessions and smart casual for social events unless otherwise stated.

Sponsorship
For details of all sponsorship opportunities at this conference, e-mail andrew.webster-dunn@int-bar.org (Head of Advertising &
Sponsorship).
