For more information on VAT Tax, please see the next FAQ.

What is VAT Tax and do I have to pay it?

VAT, or Value Added Tax, is a tax levied by the UK government on goods and services within their jurisdiction. Since this event is taking place in the UK, all attendees are subject to pay this mandatory tax. VAT is collected during the registration process. However, some VAT-registered attendees may reclaim the VAT. Please check with your tax advisor.

We have noticed an increase in scam emails offering conference attendee lists for upcoming events for a fee. This scam is widespread, with scammers primarily phishing for personal information.

The companies offering to sell these are NOT affiliated with ITechLaw and are NOT authorized to contact you for any reason. Do not reply to these requests. Nearly all third parties offering to sell attendee lists are engaging in a scam. Do not respond to the email or purchase these lists.

Please note, that ITechLaw has filed a report with the Federal Trade Commission. You can file report as well at https://reportfraud.ftc.gov.

Scammers utilize web crawlers or email “scraper” programs to gather data from websites. They seek out information such as names, emails, and any event information they can gather. After collecting information, they launch mass email campaigns to assess the legitimacy of the gathered email addresses.

ITechLaw will never solicit you to pay for attendee lists and will never sell its attendee lists to outside parties.

Home of the City of London Corporation, Guildhall Great Hall has been the centre of City government since the Middle Ages.

The present Guildhall was built in 1411 and, having survived both the Great Fire of London and the Blitz, it is the only secular stone structure dating from before 1666 still standing in the City. With 27m high ceilings and a cathedral-like ambience, the historic building is situated on top of London’s largest medieval crypts. Guildhall Great Hall is the third largest civic hall in England, where royalty and state visitors have been entertained throughout the centuries. It has been the setting for famous state trials, including that of Lady Jane Grey in 1553. The imposing medieval hall has stained glass windows and several monuments to national heroes including Admiral Lord Nelson, the Duke of Wellington and Sir Winston Churchill.

People from certain countries including the United States will need an Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) to visit the United Kingdom for tourism, business, or short-term stays. Check this web page to see if you need an ETA or visa. The ETA is similar to the U.S. Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA).

The “UK ETA app” is an app you can download on your phone to apply for an Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) to the United Kingdom. It’s a digital permission to travel to the UK, not a visa, and is required for certain visitors who are not UK residents. The app is available on both the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. You can apply for the ETA quickly with this app.

ITechLaw will provide invitation letters for those attending the conference to obtain a travel visa. Please email conferences@itechlaw.org to request an invitation letter.
