Your questions, answered.
Does VIPP membership guarantee conference attendance?
No. Applications are reviewed and conference participation is confirmed separately. Eligibility, event relevance and available places apply.
What does a fully funded place include?
The attendance and hospitality included depend on the event. Your confirmation will explain what is covered. Do not assume travel or accommodation is included.
Can I apply if my project is still at the planning stage?
Yes. The application welcomes active and future projects within the next 0–18 months. Explain your responsibilities, priorities and expected delivery timescale.
I work for a solution provider. Is this the right route?
Commercial solution providers should contact us about partnership opportunities or the relevant event’s private-sector attendance options.
Discuss the right route →Can I use the public knowledge content without joining?
Yes. Publicly available interviews, presentations and conference information remain separate from the planned member-only Vault.
