Social function tickets will NOT be confirmed until full payment is received at the IBA office. If full payment is not received by Friday 3 September, then tickets 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 22 September. 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 15 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.
Committee socials

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