This symposium will take place on the afternoon of Monday 2 July 2012 (the day before the Annual Conference begins) and offers a supportive environment where postgraduates can establish professional and personal networks amongst postgraduate peers. Places cost £25 per person (including lunch). Places are limited and must be booked in advance. Please select to attend the 'Postgraduate workshop' during the online registration.
Join the Society
If you apply for Fellowship at the same time as registering for AC2012, the Society will waive the Fellowship joining fee (a one-off payment of £30) normally paid in addition to the first year’s subscription. In addition to reduced registration fees for conference, Fellows and members enjoy a wide range of benefits, including access to the Society's Research Groups, academic journals, online lectures, the Society's Collections, and more.
Please note that the one-off £30 joining fee is automatically waived for Postgraduate Fellowship, leaving just the first year’s subscription of £28 to pay.
Cancellations
Bookings for this event are non-refundable unless a medical certificate or similar evidence can be produced.
If you do cancel your booking by producing a medical certificate or similar evidence, cancellations made up to eight weeks in advance will incur a £30 administration fee, and cancellations made thereafter will incur a £60 fee. We cannot give any refunds for cancellations made less than seven days before the event, during, or after the event.
