You’re welcome to join us at this conference but do be aware that the content is aimed mostly at those who already have donor conceived children. We'll make sure we connect you with other prospective parents on the day.

This event is for DCN members and is one of the many benefits of membership. You can join us for just £7 per month (less if you are a lower income household) and as a member you'll also get access to online chats, WhatsApp groups, exclusive events, and much more. Visit https://www.dcnetwork.org/civicrm/contribute/transact/?reset=1&id=7 to join today. If you buy a ticket and are not a member, don't worry - we'll send you details of how to join.
𝗠𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗮 𝗮𝘁 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲𝘀: it's really important to us that our conferences and events provide a safe, confidential space for us to discuss what can be very personal matters. We therefore do not allow journalists or media to attend unless they are joining in a personal capacity as a parent or prospective parent via donor conception or are a donor conceived adult. Furthermore, everything discussed within our events is confidential and may not be reported or shared outside of the event. We may therefore have to refund tickets from those who do not meet these criteria. If you would like to discuss this with us before booking, please do give us a call on +44(0)20 7278 2608.
Please use this form to book tickets for everyone attending.
Please book any babies 0-6 months as babe-in-arms (free) so we know how many to expect. Because of the possible disturbance to others, we ask that you book all mobile babies (6 months+) in to the creche.
If you have children or teenagers attending an activity ("What Makes Me, Me", the children's group or the teen group) book that ticket and it covers the whole day at the conference.

If you are a low income household, discounted tickets are listed at the bottom.
Do provide additional information in the comment boxes, if necessary, including accessibility needs. The venue should be able to accommodate everyone who wants to attend. However, creche places are limited so do book as soon as you can if you plan to bring children.
If you are a parent of older/adult children please do encourage them to come!
Please note that you will need to bring a packed lunch with you as the catering orders are now closed. There are plenty of places on the way to the school via car or public transport to buy lunch but there is nowhere onsite to buy it.
Parents and children will have lunch together in the refectory or outside if the weather is nice.
