What might competitors wish to bring?
One option is to bring small souvenirs of one's home country (e.g,, photos, paperweights, pens, etc.) to swap with other competitors.

Will my contact details be publicized?
Registration packs will contain a list of delegates and their contact details to facilitate continued contact after the competition. This information will not be given to the general public.

How should people dress?
Dress is generally casual; there will be some walking involved. Students generally wear a sport jacket or suit to the banquet and to the competition - the rest is relaxed and up to personal taste. Students are encouraged to wear traditional dress to the banquet.

If I am ill during the competition, will I have to pay for medical treatment?
If you do not normally live in the UK and you do not meet one of the exemptions from charges then you will have to pay for treatment you might need. This is regardless of whether you are a British citizen or have lived or worked here in the past or have been issued with an HC2. If you live in a country for which there is a bilateral healthcare agreement you may be exempt from some charges. We suggest that you take out the appropriate medical insurance for your visit. Please see the government website for more details.

What is the topic for this year's competition?
'The law relating to Employers and Employees.'
