How many practice workshops can I enrol in?
Your PreventX ticket includes participation in
practice workshops, which will run concurrent to the livestream. All PreventX delegates will be notified by email in
early 2024 once workshops are open for enrolment. Workshop preferences will be allocated on a first-come basis,
however we will do our best to accommodate your preferences.
Your ticket also includes access to all the
livestream content during the conference and access to all recordings of the livestream sessions. That way you do not
miss out on any concurrent livestream sessions.
Why can't I attend more
workshops?
Workshops are capped at 30-45 people to support a space where our delegates can interact
with each other and the facilitator. This means that each delegate must identify which sessions they would most like
attend in order of preference, in order to ensure there is spaces for other delegates in the other workshops. Your
ticket also includes access to all the livestream content during the conference and access to all recordings of the
livestream sessions.
What if I enrol in the wrong workshop/s? Can I change?
Yes, you
can change if the workshop/s is not already full. Please reach out using the support bubble on the bottom righthand
side of the page to change your enrolment.
All livestream content is recorded and will be available for all PreventX ticket holders to watch post-event. This way you do not have to stress about missing out on any of the livestream content and speakers, particularly when participating in workshops.
