The Summit 2026 – Ticketing FAQ
- What ticket do I need to attend The Summit?
You can choose from a Full Summit Pass (both days) or a single-day pass for Day 1 or Day 2. We recommend the Full Summit Pass — it is the most cost-effective option and gives you access to everything across both days.
- Is the Gala Dinner included in my ticket?
No — the Awards & Gala Dinner is a separate ticketed event held on the evening of Day 2 (Tuesday 3 November 2026). It must be purchased in addition to your Summit Pass.
- Where do I enter my discount code?
Unlike access codes (which unlock ticket types), discount codes are entered at checkout when finalising your payment.
- Can I use more than one code at checkout?
Only one discount code can be applied per order at checkout.
- Is there a discount for group bookings at the Gala Dinner?
Yes — a 10% discount is automatically applied when purchasing 10 Gala Dinner tickets, effectively giving you the 10th ticket for free and securing a full table for your organisation.
- What is the refund policy?
Refunds are available up to 30 days prior to the event (by 3 October 2026). After this date, tickets are non-refundable, but ticket transfers to another person can be arranged by contacting events@nswicc.com.au.
- What is an access code and do I need one?
Access codes are used by NSWICC Members and Partners to unlock exclusive pricing tiers. If you are an NSWICC Member or Partner, you should have received your unique access code from NSWICC. If you have not received yours, contact events@nswicc.com.au. If you are a general attendee, no access code is needed — simply proceed to select your tickets.
- Where do I enter my access code?
Enter your access code in the "Discount or access code" field at the top of the ticketing page, then click Apply. Your Member or Partner ticket options will appear once the code is accepted.

- My access code isn't working — what do I do?
Double-check that you have entered the code exactly as provided, including any hyphens. Codes are case-sensitive. If the issue persists, contact events@nswicc.com.au and the NSWICC Events Team will assist you.
