If you submit a paper after we have opened the waiting list for registrants, then you are guaranteed a place only if your paper is accepted. We will let you know by one week after the deadline.

Once we have reached capacity, you can join the waiting list. Normally a number of registrants withdraw before the conference, and we allocate their places to those waiting. Most withdrawals happen close to the conference date, though, so you may not be sure about a place for some time.
Attendance costs:
- In-person: £25, or £20 for students/unwaged, which pays for refreshments and the evening reception (you will be able to buy lunch on campus this year)
- Online-only: £5, which helps to pay for other event costs and for someone to look after the stream/questions etc.
#CakeOff2024
We would also like to invite you to participate in the grand CA Day #CAkeOff2023 competition, which will be held in hybrid format again this year.
