Expense Claims

• Delegates are requested to minimise their expenses in any way they can. 
• In particular, members are requested to take advantage of standard class travel and "reduced fare" air and rail tickets whenever possible, for example by booking early. Submitted expense claims are expected to be in line with amounts agreed prior to the Symposium. 
• Where all or part travel is made by private car, the mileage payable is calculated using the rates allowed under the Inland Revenue Fixed Profit Car Scheme. The private car allowance is intended for use only where more economic arrangements are not possible. 
• Receipted bills for all expenditure must be attached to claims. 
• All accommodation, meals and internet access will be provided for delegates for the duration of the Symposium. Delegates are responsible for any other expenses incurred and will be expected to pay on departure any bill from the hotel for any additional services provided. 
• Delegates with an accompanying person are required to pay any surplus fee for accommodation in addition to the guest's travelling and subsistence costs. 
• Please return scanned copies of your receipts to Hannah Porter by email using the link below as soon as possible after the Symposium.

Code of Conduct

• This will be an intense weekend of work, though not significantly different from attendance at a conference. In addition to your Board meeting, you are invited to attend workshops. We ask that you do make every effort to attend these. The aim of the Symposium is to offer an opportunity to learn about wider ÂÜÀòÉç Publishing activities, to contribute to shaping our strategy and to connect with members of other Boards and members of our publishing staff. The success of the event is dependent upon your participation. 
• Please be punctual during the Symposium: we appreciate your assistance in keeping to the timetable. 
• The dress code for evening events is smart casual. For meetings and workshops please dress as you usually would for a Board meeting. Although all events take place indoors please be aware that the weather may be cold and it would be prudent to bring appropriate outerwear such as a warm coat as one of the social events takes place in a different venue. 
• Meals and refreshments will be provided during the Symposium. There are likely to be times, such as after the Reception and the Banquet, when delegates retire to the bar. This can provide good opportunities for discussion and networking, however we do ask that delegates exercise judgement in getting sufficient rest to allow them to be ready for the following day's activities. We also ask that delegates exercise judgement in their alcohol consumption, as appropriate for a professional event 
• All Symposium delegates and members of our staff have the right to be treated with dignity. We ask you to be considerate of other attendees and treat them with the respect that you would wish to be afforded. In particular, harassment (including sexual harassment) or bullying will not be tolerated or condoned 
• We reserve the right to refuse admission or require you to leave the event if your behaviour is considered likely to cause damage, offence or injury, or is otherwise considered unacceptable
