For Delegates: Important Quotation, Ticket Ordering & Payment Information!

Payment by Credit Card is the preferred method! Google and PayPal are also supported at checkout.

IMPORTANT for Quotations to raise Purchase Orders, Approvals: 

If you require a quote or pre-invoice to raise a purchase order - you can do this by completing a Registration with the following alterations:

• Just after selecting your tickets, the Buyer Information shows. This is where the details of who the invoice is addressed to to process payment.

  • Set 'First Name' on this page to "QUOTATION"

  • Set 'Last Name' on this page to "ONLY"

  • Use your own email address, rather than say someone in your finance team.

• Continue as usual and complete your ticket selection and options as you would like to attend.

• At Payment - choose the Invoice option

  • Leave the PO Reference field blank.

  • 'First Name' and 'Last Name' will already populate with QUOTATION and ONLY

  • Complete Business name and Billing Address as needed for your finance team.

• Click Checkout.

The QUOTATION ONLY tickets and the invoice will be emailed to you. It will reference QUOTATION ONLY on it, but include cost, ABN, GST Status of SPUN (not registered), EFT details, etc - and be useable for quotation.

Once your PO is approved, discard the quotation order/tickets/emails - and create a new order! In the new order use the correct first/last name Buyer details, and in the Invoice Payment section, provide your real PO Reference. The SPUN Exec will delete any of these 'Quotation Only' invoices that are created weekly so they don't clutter up the ticket system.

• IMPORTANT: Ensure that your finance department references the 'real' order's Invoice number when performing an the EFT payment! Otherwise we will not be able to match your ticket payment.

• Once EFT payment is cleared into the SPUN account, the Treasurer will mark your ticket order as Paid in Humanitix, which will trigger an email notification with your tickets and an invoice confirming payment has been made.

For Sponsors/Vendors & Civica staff: Ticket Registration

For Sponsor Representatives and Civica staff attending the conference, this ticket registration ensures that we have sufficient contact details, dietary requirements and attendance information to know who to expect on what days, as well as name information to provide conference lanyards, etc. There is no cost attached to requesting 'tickets' here - that is all dealt with through the Sponsorship Agreement process already undertaken by your organisation.

For each representative or staff member attending the conference in person please complete an individual registration for their attendance as below:

• Please choose Register.

• Expand the Sponsor/Civica Staff ticket section. Add a Free Sponsor/Civica Staff ticket. Click Continue.

• Fill out the Buyer information field with your contact details and Organisation Name.

Complete the ticket information fields (including your name as the Attendee and role/position), specifying the days you will be onsite for the conference and your intentions for attending the sit down dinner (for Civica staff only) or social dinner (for Sponsors only) events and dietary requirements.

• Complete the registration.

• You will be sent a confirmation order message with ticket information - but you do not need to do or action anything with this.

Thank you!
