Once the standard registration rate is in effect, there is no registration deadline, but space is limited. Most of our events offer an early-bird registration rate for individuals registering early. The early registration deadline date for each event is mentioned on our website. We recommend pre-registration to make sure there are enough event manuals on site. We do allow walk-in registrations when space allows, but admittance cannot be guaranteed. If you are planning on registering at the door, please do not pay with cash.

CPD certificates are distributed to your online account at the conclusion of the live event for those who pre-register and are in full attendance.

Occasionally, changes are made due to speaker availability, participant demand or unforeseen circumstances. While PESI UK will do everything possible to ensure participant satisfaction, PESI UK's liability is limited to the event fee only.
