The confirmation email received shortly after registering.  Identification of the ticket holders name may also be required at the registration desk.

No, unfortunately we do not offer half-day tickets; you will need to purchase a single day ticket as outlined on the registration page. Please note as there is a significant discount for the SONA and student full conference ticket types, there will not be any single day tickets available.

Flexi Tickets are fully transferable between different employees of the same practice, with the condition that only one person per Flexi Ticket purchased may attend the conference at any one time. The ticket can be left for collection, at the registration desk or you can arrange alternative transfer with co-workers. This ticket allows access to all conference sessions for one person per session, and one lunch on Friday and Saturday. If you would like more information on this ticket type, please email conference@architecture.com.au.

Flexi Tickets do not include a ticket to the Opening Party.

Please note that the email confirmation will be sent to the email address entered when registering for the conference. The confirmation email will be sent within 15 minutes of confirming your registration online.

As it is becoming increasingly difficult to send emails that do not end up in people’s JUNK/SPAM folders; if you do not receive the confirmation email please check your junk mail folder for an email from: ozaccom@ozaccom.com.au  or add this address to your Safe Senders list. Please contact conference@architecture.com.au if you still do not receive the confirmation.

Once online registrations have closed, the registration webpage will have a link to a downloadable PDF hardcopy registration form. Please print and fill this out with credit card details and bring along with you to the conference registration desk at the Perth Convention and Exhibition Centre during registration times. Note, once online registrations have closed, we will not be accepting emailed registration forms either, therefore please just bring the filled in form with you on the day.

Exact registration opening hours will be confirmed on this website closer to the event. This information will also be emailed to all conference delegates one week prior to the conference, alongside other important information for conference attendees.
