2. Your Actions at Conference Matter
- Sign on using the QR code each day – this is an important audit requirement
- Attend all sessions of the conference – the extended day supports your approval for accommodation
- Be conscious of your social media posts and how they may be interpreted
- We have introduced short wellbeing breaks – stand up, stretch but stay close and settle quickly (of course you can duck out to the toilet)
