Accommodation around the Conference Venue is already almost fully booked and those that have not already booked air flights and accommodation will certainly find it more and more difficult to make arrangements as we approach the summer period in Cape Town.

Those delegate partners that would like to attend the Banquet Dinner at Spier Wine Farm and also the closing ceremony on Robben Island (inclusive of Tour of Prison facilities) need to indicate to the Organisers well in advance that they would like to be included in the festivities. As space is limited (about 300 tickets available for each of the two events), delegates will get first booking preference with Partners taking up any left-over tickets. With anticipated delegate numbers close to 300, we cannot guarantee that there will be many unsold tickets available for last minute participants.

For those that would like to attend pre and post conference workshops, IVS and HYPACK will be running workshops on the Monday 9th November (HYPACK and IVS) as well as Friday 13th Nov (HYPACK). The traditional HYDRO Golf Tournament will be held on Monday 9th Nov. This is guaranteed to be a fun-filled day with some great prizes!
