Time really is running out to register for the number one event on the Australian Delphi Calendar. Registrations will close at 11pm, this coming Tuesday 19th March with the event itself held in Melbourne on Thursday 21st March and Sydney 22nd March. The event is open to both ADUG members and non-members.

Members of ADUG can register with some very significant discounts by first logging into the ADUG website and then registering.

Non Members can register by clicking here.

Here’s a tip for non-members. Keep an eye out for the “Register for the Symposium AND JOIN ADUG option”. It costs exactly the same amount but means you’ll pay less for the symposium in future years.
