Can I bring my spouse or a guest to the World Congress?

Share your business trip to London with a spouse or guest by registering them for the Welcome Reception at the Tower of London and the Awards Dinner at the Victoria and Albert Museum. Tickets may be purchased online, and it is strongly recommended to reserve a seat in advance for the Awards Dinner as a sellout is expected. Due to limited space at the conference space, only full Congress attendees can attend the sessions.

The main World Congress registration also includes the Monday evening reception at the Pullman.
