Morning and afternoon teas and lunches will be provided amongst the exhibition. If you have not already notified Conlog of any special dietary requirements (e.g. vegetarian, shellfish allergy), please do so as soon as possible by emailing 2020aelert-inece@conlog.com.au.
Dietary requests will be catered for to the best of the caterer's ability. Individuals with severe allergies are requested to advise Conlog of their requirements prior to the conference, and bring any allergy medication (EpiPen, Phenergan etc.) as prescribed by your doctor to the conference and any associated function. Whilst due care is taken by the organisers and caterer, individuals must take primary responsibility for their own health.
