On-site accreditation stations will be setup in the registration foyer of the Cape Town International Convention Centre from the day before to provide all delegates with access cards, delegate bags, event programmes and delegate t-shirts. 

Can I buy tickets on the day?

Can I attend one day?

Very limited tickets are available for each day of the event. They are R2 680 including VAT per day per ticket and no discounts are available for this category of tickets.
