Even if someone else or an institution is paying for you, you will need to register.

Cancellation
Registrations cancelled (notifying us by email) more than three weeks (before 7 June) before the conference will be refunded, less a small amount to cover administrative and finance costs. Cancellations made within three weeks of the event will be ineligible for such a refund, due to costs already incurred. Refunds at that point will be discretionary.
