Exhibitor Lounge

Cost
Tickets are priced at £80 per person for the day which should also be tax-deductible… bonus!
Classes
This convention will have open classes that you can select on the day. Please be aware each class has a certain capacity. To try and accommodate for popular classes, some sessions will be repeated during the day plus attendees can’t do the same class twice. Although we have solutions in place we still can’t guarantee class availability.
The practical sessions will be delivered by our CYD? faculty, please see our website for the calibre of our previous tutors. Seminars will be taken by specialists in those areas. Because the CYD? faculty are all working professionals within the industry, their schedules are subject to change therefore, as with all of our events, we aim to announce at least a month prior to the convention.
