There is no automatic email confirmation once you have submitted your booking form.  We will be reviewing and confirming session requests after booking has closed.  While we aim to allocate attendees their first choice of sessions, due to the number of delegates, this may not always be possible.  If you have any questions in advance of this, please email mercianconference@gmail.com. 

Sponsor & Speaker Information

If you are attending as an accepted sponsor or speaker, please also submit a booking form so that we can manage numbers on the day.  If you do not wish to attend sessions, or are delivering a session during a time block please select n/a.
