Can I get a refund?

Unfortunately, we cannot offer a refund once you have signed up to an event. This is mainly due to the logistics of running an event of this size. However, you can swap the name on the ticket, just see below. Anyway, you'd be crazy to miss it, and you're not crazy, so see you there.

Can I exchange my ticket with someone else?
