BUY AND CONFIRM A SEAT AT THE CONFERENCE
Booking and paying for a seat for the LTA sessions means that you will already occupy a seat in the auditorium for the day. You can therefore return to the auditorium after lunch for the free Home Affairs and ABF sessions in the afternoon. You do not need to join the waitlist for the free sessions as you will already have a seat in the auditorium.
JOIN THE WAITLIST FOR FREE HOME AFFAIRS / ABF / MIGRATION ALLIANCE MEMBER SESSIONS
Migration Agents wishing to attend the free Home Affairs / ABF / Migration Alliance afternoon sessions need to place their name on a waitlist for free seats in the auditorium. Approximately 12-24 hours prior to the start of the conference (13th or 14th November 2019), Migration Alliance will advise those waitlisted migration agents (in writing) whether they have been given a free seat to these sessions. Any agents who are not confirmed on the attendance list will be denied access. It is very important not to just show up on the day and hope for a seat. Free seats are issued on a first come first served basis.
