How can I find out more about the conference programme and speakers?
To find out more about the conference programme and the speakers, please
select the relevant section from the menu on the left of the page. We will
continue to update these sections of the website as speakers are confirmed.
How much does the conference cost?
The full conference rate is HK $3,900. We are offering an Early Bird rate
of HK $3,250 for any registrations that are made prior to 27 April 2007
– so delegates are encouraged to register early. Member companies of Community
Business and Supporting Organisations are eligible for a 20% discount on
the prevailing rate.
What does the registration fee include?
The registration fee includes attendance at the 2 day conference, the Networking
Reception at the end of Day 1, all refreshment breaks and materials distributed
at the conference.
Who should attend the Networking Reception?
Anyone attending the conference is invited to attend the Networking Reception.
This is a chance for delegates to meet, network and share experience with
other professionals who have an interest in diversity in an informal environment.
How do the Breakout Sessions work?
There are four Breakout Sessions, two on each day. Breakout sessions will
be led by a moderator who will invite the two to three speakers to make
a short presentation before opening the floor to a Q&A session with
the audience. These sessions are designed to resemble a large group discussion,
for better understanding of the concepts of diversity and inclusion.
What are the topics of the Breakout Sessions?
The Breakout Sessions on Day 1 provide an understanding of the Asian context
for diversity and look at how your company can develop a strategic approach
to the issues in Asia. The Breakout Sessions on Day 2 focus on specific
diversity issues: women in the workplace, Asian culture in the workplace
and the less widely addressed issues in Asia of disability and age in the
workplace. To find out more about the Breakout Sessions, please see the
appropriate link on the Programme section of the website.
How do I select which Breakout Session I wish to attend?
For each breakout session, delegates have the choice to attend Option A or
Option B. Delegates will be asked to indicate their preference when registering
online. You can change this selection at any time by simply updating your
registration record. Please note, whilst we seek to give you priority at
your preferred sessions, seats will ultimately be allocated on a first
come first served basis. To find out more about the Breakout Sessions,
please see the appropriate link on the Programme section of the website.

and as part of the process you will be asked if you are completing the
details on behalf of someone else. Please be sure to provide your contact

individual delegate that person will receive an automatic email confirmation.
Can I register more than one person?

How do I make payment?
You can make payment by cheque, bank transfer or credit card. You will be
asked to select your payment method when you register online. To assist
us with our administration we ask you to print a copy of your electronic
invoice and submit this together with your payment where possible. You
can print your invoice at the final step of the registration process. If
you are making payment by bank transfer, all bank charges should be borne
by the remitter. Please note, your seat at the conference will only be
finally confirmed once Community Business receives your full payment. We
will notify you when this has occurred.
Can I make payment by credit card?
Yes. However, unfortunately we are not able to process the payment online.
Instead as part of the registration process you will be asked to download
a credit card form, complete the details and fax back to our office on
+852 2540 9520. To assist us with our administration, we ask that you also
fax back a copy of your invoice. You can print this at the final stage
of your registration. Please note, your seat at the conference will only
be finally confirmed once Community Business receives authorisation of
your credit card payment from the bank. We will notify you when this has
occurred.
What do I do if I need to cancel my registration?
You can cancel your registration by simply viewing your detailed registration
record and selecting the ‘Cancel my registration’ option. If you are eligible
for a refund, Community Business will be in contact with you. We regret
that we are only able to refund payment if notification is given by 29
May (one month prior to the event). However, you can make a substitution.
Simply update your registration record. All substitutions should be made
by 20 June 2007 at the latest – after which time registration will be closed.
