NB: Our new preferred method of registration is HERE, so please ignore this page. We hope the new page makes things smoother but if it doesn't work please come back here and complete this process.

This is the old process for registering for the conference, (but it will still work):

1) Choose a conference package on this page. If you do not have a login on this website already you will be asked to complete a User Account form. Click the 'Register' button. Then hang back for a bit.
2) The website notifies the conference organisers, PeopleSA, who then send you a form by e-mail.
3) You fill in the form and send it back asap. It specifies your choices for accommodation, gala dinner, etc. that could not be captured on this website.
4) PeopleSA then send you an invoice for registration, accommodation (if you choose from their offerings), gala dinner, etc. with a reference code.
5) You then proceed to pay. If by credit card, then here, where you will be asked for the reference code on your invoice.

The "+workshops" packages are a full five days and include three activities, be they workshops or technical visits. Browse them here. All other packages exclude workshops, which you can pay for separately subject to availability.
