Hi Davinia,
I'm sorry to be an idiot... But I think I've registered for the conference
- but can't find a receipt! I'm wondering if it didn't actually go through
the system ... Are you able to double check please, to see if my
registration went through? If not, I'll register asap.
Annabelle Murphy - VCA, University of Melbourne
Much appreciated
Annabelle :)
