How Council events work

Events are open to non-members unless marked member-only. Members pay a reduced rate or attend without charge, depending on the event.

  • Both rates are published on every event, so the member saving is visible at the point of decision.
  • Sessions given by suppliers declare the commercial relationship on the agenda.
  • Roundtables are held under the Chatham House Rule where stated.
  • Registration is confirmed by email with a reference number.

Attending an event is the simplest way to see how the Council works before applying. Compare membership categories if you decide to join.
