The Registry uses an identification number called a ‘SID Number’ for a number of internal purposes. Your SID number may appear in various communications with you – including the emails inviting to register for the FiM Conference and we ask you to enter this when you register. It is not a required field in the form, but it does assist us in processing your attendance.

There is no cost to attend the conference. Morning tea and lunch are included.
NOTE: There is a close off date for registrations of May 22nd to allow for lunches to be ordered. Registrations received after that date will need to make their own lunch arrangements.
