Enquiries About The Venue & The Conference Day

How do I get to the venue?

Venue details will be confirmed shortly, please check the website regularly for updates.

What about accommodation?

The cost of overnight accommodation or any travel is not included in your registration fee.

Are all meals and refreshments included?

Yes, all refreshments and lunch is included. Please email info@pharmamarketingconference.com if you have any special dietary requirements, other than vegetarian, which is included as standard. Please see the conference programme for specific timings for the refreshments and networking breaks.

What should I wear?

The dress code is business casual.

What do I need to bring with me?

Please bring your booking confirmation with you to the conference. We do not issue tickets for entry so your registration. You may find that having lots of business cards with you for the networking sessions is also helpful.

What if I have special requirements?

If you have any particular requirements, disabilities, access, or any other needs we should be aware of, please do let us know when you register for the event. Alternatively, please email info@pharmamarketingconference.com.

What happens if there is a venue change?

Very occasionally, we may have to change the venue of the conference due to refurbishments or issues with the venue itself. Should this happen, you will be personally notified and sent all of the relevant information for the new venue. Our conference website will also be kept up-to-date of any changes.

How many attendees will be at the conference?

This does vary, so please ask our Customer Service team onsite.

What happens if a speaker cannot attend?

Conferences are organised many months in advance of the conference itself and as the date of the conference approaches, sometimes we may need to make substitutions, alterations or cancellations of the speakers and/or topics. This is due to speakers being unable to attend for personal or business reasons and whilst we make every effort to find a direct replacement, sometimes this is not possible within the timeframes we are given and in order to allow any replacement speaker to sufficiently prepare a quality presentation. Global Insight Conferences Ltd reserves the right to alter or modify the advertised speakers and/or topics if necessary. Any substitutions or alterations will be regularly updated on the individual event sites.

What conference materials will be made available on the day?

On the day of the conference, you will receive a documentation pack with the updated agenda, delegate list, venue information and the speaker biographies, as well as sheets for your notes. The actual presentations will not be printed in the documentation pack as speakers often wish to update their presentations following questions and debates on the day itself and so will generally request that we publish the presentation after the conference. The presentations will be made available one week after the event from the password protected area of the conference website and will remain up there for six months. Please note that not all speakers provide us with a presentation and that not all speakers will give permission for their presentations to be distributed.

When will I receive the conference materials?

Your conference documentation pack will be given to you when you register on the day of the conference. The speaker presentations themselves will be made available to all attendees one week after the conference.

Are all of the presentations available on the web?

We ask all of our speakers for permission to publish their presentations on the password protected area of the website for you to download post-event. Not all of our speakers give us permission to do so, or indeed prepare written presentations. What we are legally permitted to publish online will be made available to you as soon as the speakers have released their updated versions. This tends to be within one week of the conference itself and your private password will allow you access to the site for you to download at your leisure.

Will I receive a copy of the delegate list?

For networking purposes, the delegate list will be released on the day of the conference.
