Can I transfer my ticket to someone else?
If you are unable to attend, ticket transfers are generally possible to another colleague within your company. Please contact the organisers before the conference so we can update the registration details.
Is it possible to attend online only?
Currently we do not offer online-only tickets. The third conference day is held online and is included with eligible ticket types. The workshop day and the main conference day are designed as in-person experiences.
Will the sessions be recorded?
Yes. Recordings of the conference sessions will be available to participants after the event, allowing you to revisit presentations or catch up on sessions you missed.
Please note that workshops are not recorded. In addition, some conference sessions or presentation slides may not be available after the event due to company policies or speaker restrictions. Likewise, workshop presentation materials may only be shared in full where the speaker is able to do so.
When will I receive my QR code ticket?
After purchasing your ticket, your registration is confirmed, but your QR code ticket is sent closer to the conference. To ensure your badge displays your preferred and correct information, we will ask you to confirm or update your participant details through a participant registration form a few weeks before the event. Based on the information provided there, your personal QR code ticket will be sent to your registered email address during the week before the conference.
What should I do if I haven't received my QR code ticket?
QR code tickets are sent during the week before the conference, after participant registration has been completed. If you have not received your ticket by the day before the event, please check your spam or junk folder first.
If you still cannot find it, don't worry, our team will be happy to assist you at the registration desk. Simply provide your name and company name, and we'll help you complete the check-in process.

I have dietary requirements. What should I do?
We aim to offer a selection of vegetarian, lactose-free, and gluten-free options during both the coffee breaks and lunch. If you have any other dietary requirements or food allergies, you'll be able to let the organizing team know during participant registration at a later stage.

Will there be networking opportunities?
Absolutely. The conference offers coffee breaks, lunch, and a networking cocktail reception, providing plenty of opportunities to connect with speakers, sponsors, and fellow data professionals.
How does the online conference day work?
The online conference day takes place through our Slack workspace. Participants will receive an invitation to join Slack at the email address provided during participant registration. We recommend providing a personal email address, as invitations may not always reach company email addresses due to corporate security settings.
