All delegates are reminded to please take advantage of the savings offered by booking in advance, and to make every effort to complete journeys in the most cost-effective way possible. 

The meeting will officially start with the first session at 10:30 on the Friday to facilitate travel on the day. With this in mind accommodation expenses are not typically expected. Should you consider yourself to require an unavoidable overnight stay please seek prior approval to claim expenses for travel and accommodation on the Thursday.

The event will conclude at 17:00. Tickets for journeys before 17:15 on the Friday will not be reimbursed. Should you wish to leave the day early in order to travel before this time you will be required to fund your own travel. 

All attendees should make their own travel arrangements and follow the guidance and expense claim processes as outlined below.

LDC Representatives

The LDC Conference fund will pay the travel (and any subsistence) expenses for up to 3 representatives per LDC attending the event.

First class train travel is permitted if booked in advance and the cost is equal to or cheaper than the on the day standard fare for the same route. 

Flights will only be permitted if this means of travel proves to be more cost-effective than train travel.

Where necessary taxis to and from your home to the train station can be claimed. Public transport is excellent in London, so taxis should not be used (unless a group travelling together make this a more cost-effective option of getting around).

A LDC Representative expense claim form must be submitted (with receipts) to the LDC Conference Treasurer within 28 days of the event.

GDPC members

GDPC members attending the event will have their travel expenses covered in line with the BDA Expense claim policy. Please note, as per the policy, expenses are normally only paid to BDA members.

Where applicable, GDPC members should complete the GDPC Member expense claim form and submit it (with receipts) to Alex Cenic within 28 days of the event.
