• Transferring Your Registration: If you are unable to attend an event, you have the option to send a substitute in your place, provided the replacement meets the event's entry requirements.

• Split Registrations: IA NZ is unable to offer split registrations. Each conference registration is for one named attendee only and cannot be shared or transferred between multiple people.

If you do not wish to be photographed, please advise the IIA NZ National Office before or during the event.
