This does mean that our programmes may change and evolve over the duration of our campaign. Other times it may be necessary due to unforeseen circumstances to alter the programme, venue and speakers and Ascential Events Limited reserves the right to do so. Regrettably this means that no refunds or credits can be issued in line with our cancellation policy.
