Important information

These activities are generously funded by our sponsors, who are thrilled to host this experience for you. Please respect the time, effort, and resources they have invested by only registering if you fully intend to attend. As these events have capacity limits, we kindly ask that you email marketing@consilium.co.nz as soon as possible if you can no longer make it, so your spot can be offered to someone on the waitlist.

All activities have a capacity limit. Once this capacity is reached, there will be an option to register for the waitlist. If your desired activity is at full capacity, we suggest you join the waitlist and register for another event. If a spot becomes available, we will contact individuals on the waitlist in the order they registered.
