About Registration

While this is possible, we encourage you to book your Samphire room through us. We have negotiated cheaper rates.

Our preference is that you stay at Samphire and book your accommodation together with your conference registration. Alternative accommodation options are available that can be booked prior to registration. If you would like to book Samphire accommodation at a different time to your registration, please contact the committee aasc2024conf@gmail.com.
