Pricing
The WLN Board is very keen to promote our networking at conference and for all members firms to attend regularly. It’s very disappointing to the hosts to make all the efforts of setting up such an event, only for too many members to stay away. And we also want to promote a healthy mixture of both the more experienced partners and those who might attend for the first time. Healthy for the long term prosperity of WLN’s member firms.
With all that in mind, the WLN costs* of this conference will be as follows:
- 1st delegate (from all firms) - €490 each
- 2nd and further delegate(s):
- €440 each (i.e. 10% discount); except
- If such person has not previously attended a main WLN conference: €340 each (i.e. 30%, “1st timer” discount)
* excludes your hotel and travel, which you pay directly.
- Accompanying person - €140 each
- Saturday social programme - €60 each
