IAIA training courses will be held 6-7 May 2023 at the Borneo Convention Centre Kuching (BCCK). Separate registration fees apply, and pre-registration is required.

Please register early! Courses will be cancelled if they do not reach the minimum number of paid participants by 13 March 2023.   After 13 March, registrations will be accepted subject to availability and receipt of payment up until the 12 April 2023 final registration deadline. In consideration of the trainers and their need to prepare appropriate quantities of course materials, registrants may not change courses after 12 April 2023.
