Can I purchase a ticket at NEDC26?
Tickets must be pre purchased through this website and may sell out due to venue capacity. Register in advance to avoid disappointment.
I cannot pay by credit card. Is there an option to receive an invoice?
Yes. During registration there is an option to pay by invoice, and you can enter a PO number.
If the event is cancelled, how do I receive a refund?
In the unlikely event of cancellation, Economic Development Australia will contact you and an automatic refund will be returned to your original method of payment.
I can no longer attend NEDC26. Can I get a refund?
