Workshop Registration
Workshops will open for booking on Monday 27th October at 12pm (GMT, UK time). Please note the clocks go back the day before (Sunday 26th), so double check the time if you’re joining us from overseas.
These sessions are always popular and spaces go quickly, so please take a moment to make sure you can log into your account before registration opens.
How to register: Workshop booking is done via our website. Log into your account, head to the Agenda page, and select the sessions you’d like to attend.
Keep track of your bookings: Once you’ve registered, you can view your full list of booked sessions by logging into your account. We recommend taking a screenshot or noting them down, so you have them handy over the weekend. You can also add them into the conference app for easy reference (make sure to use the email linked to your ticket to log in), just remember the app is for planning only, and all bookings must be made through the website.
Important Updates for 2025
-
No on-the-day registration: To avoid queues and maximise your conference experience, workshops will NOT be bookable on-site.
-
Spaces released in stages: 75% of spaces will be released in October, with the final 25% in waves closer to the event.
-
Bookings close: Wednesday 12th November 2025, 9am GMT.
-
Waiting lists: If a workshop is full, you can join a waiting list at the front desk on the day of the event. We’ll do our best to get you in, but strongly advise you to book in advance.
-
Arrive early: Please arrive a couple of minutes before your workshop on the day so the WEM team can register you at the door.
-
Biosphere sessions: These do not require pre-registration. You’re welcome to attend as many as you like.
If you have trouble logging in, please contact us before the workshop registration day.
We’ll do our best to help, but if multiple people run into issues at the last minute, we can’t guarantee quick fixes, and sessions do sell out fast.
