To ensure our students make the most out of this industry opportunity, there will be certain talks that will have compulsory groups. These students will be required to go along to these events to benefit their studies and educate them on relevant course information. Compulsory groups don’t need to book a ticket, your seat has already been reserved. On the IW website you’ll be able to filter events by course so you know exactly what you need to attend.
Unless a talk is marked as a closed session, all other events are open for you to book onto. Some talks will also be made available for you to watch online, if you’re not able to get an in-person ticket. More information on streaming will be available shortly.
