New for 2021, delegates will need to register separately for all Friday sessions of the Congress. This enables the BOA to gain a better understanding of the delegates attending these sessions, informing development and content improvements for future years. You can either add a Friday session at the end of booking your Congress ticket, or register separately if you only wish to attend on Friday.
