We have set the General Admission ticket price at the actual cost of this event. We look forward to experimenting with a range of models for different events in the future with the aim of making them as widely accessible as possible. There are also some scholarships available for this Symposium; information on applying for those is available here. We may also livestream the event; sign up for updates below.
