  • Delegate places at the congress are limited and offered on a first-come, first served basis. Places cannot be guaranteed until payment has been received.

  • Cancellation charges will apply (25% on cancellation up to 4 weeks before the event, 50% if cancelled within four weeks of the event but no more than 5 days before the event, 100% if cancelled within 5 days of the event).

  • ASO reserves the right to alter the programme without prior notice.

  • In the event that the congress is cancelled or cannot take place for any reason outside the control of ASO and the congress for whatever reason is not able to be translated to a digital format the registration fees will be refunded in full. The total liability of ASO shall be limited to that refund only and it shall not be liable for any other loss, cost or expense howsoever arising.

  • If the congress has to be translated to a digital format due to government regulations/guidance, delegate fees will not be refunded but delegate registrations will be transferred to this new digital event. If a digital format is required we will endeavour to keep the event on the same dates.

  • Delegates are advised to take out appropriate travel insurance cover.

  • All congress attendees must comply with relevant current government guidance at the time of the event.

Please take a lateral flow test each day for the three days prior to attending the congress and, ideally, on both days of the congress. If you test positive at any point throughout the congress, please notify the ASO office as soon as possible.

  • To be eligible for the member's congress rates, you must be a ASO member at the time of registration, and at the time of attending congress.
