There will be boxes placed in the conference areas for you to place your questions before 13.10pm. Paper and pens will be provided. If you would prefer to submit your question prior to the conference please info@arghhighand.co.uk or text: Please remember to bring with you anything that makes you feel comfortable: glasses, earplugs, personal objects, comfortable clothing and accessories. Please be considerate regarding making noise as some speakers and delegates will have high sensitivity to noise. Instead of clapping, we ask that delegates in the audience wave their hands in appreciation. Please avoid highly scented perfumes / aftershaves as this can impact on the comfort of other delegates. There will be a quiet dining area in addition to the main dining area. The quiet dinning area will include a table for those who do not wish social interaction while dining. A small quiet lounge will also be available. If you need to leave the conference at any time please do so. Please return to the conference if you wish. There is a woodland area close by for those wishing to take a break from the conference. As a courtesy to others please ensure that mobile phones are either switched off or turned to silent mode whilst in the conference areas. If you wish to smoke please find a safe space outside of the building, away from any doors or windows. 3 of 5
