IMPORTANT: THE AHICE HOUSE RULES<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

A note from the organisers:<\/em> Due to a number of unofficial invite-only events taking place during conferences in recent years, we would ask that businesses and individuals please do not host any events during the above times as a courtesy to other sponsors of AHICE Fiji.<\/span><\/p>\n

We all know that without sponsors, events like this cannot happen and we ask that our request is respected. If unapproved events do take place during the official times, the organisers and representatives of those companies will not be able to attend any AHICE sessions and are at the risk of passes being revoked.<\/span><\/p>\n

We are also requesting that supplier and adviser attendees that aren\u2019t sponsors of the event do not canvas for business with sales materials and documents at AHICE Fiji events. Those that do will be at the risk of passes being revoked.<\/span><\/p>\n
