Registration

Registration will close on 23 January 2025. 

Due to increasing costs associated with this event, including venue hire, a registration fee of £50 has been introduced for EM-UKI 2025. In addition to meeting rising costs, this will also help provide more clarity over the likely number of attendees on the day, enabling the Society to cater more accurately for attendees and reduce waste.

Admittance to this event is for registered and authorised attendees. Unfortunately we cannot permit access to visitors or allow non-registered persons to enter the meeting or exhibition. If you have any questions, please contact Katie Reynolds.
