Changes in the Programme

IBC's commitment is to provide delegates with the opportunity to discuss issues, topics and cases of interest presented by experienced speakers. It may be necessary for reasons beyond the control of the organisers to alter the content and the timing of the programme or the identity of the speakers. Should a speaker be unable to make a scheduled presentation, IBC will do everything in its power to replace the absent speaker by another one who is able to address the same topic. This effort, however, is not a guarantee that there will be a substitute speaker.
