The meeting promotes health and well-being towards our participants and our environment. In line with our greening initiative, there will be no printouts. The Conference will adopt a paper-smart organizational approach during the 13th APNIFFT Conference: participants will be encouraged to use electronic media as much as possible, and every effort will be made to reduce the number of documents printed. To help achieve those objectives, wireless connectivity will be made available at the Conference, allowing for multiple devices to connect.

We also request all delegates to support this initiative by refraining from printing.

For delegates arranging their own travel arrangements, including flight and accommodation reservations, special negotiated rates have been arranged for a limited number of rooms with the The Capital on the Park Hotel under Group Code: APNIFFT 2025. All prices include a buffet breakfast. Please note that the rooms are subject to availability and will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. Kindly contact Daniel, daniel.blakeway@thecapital.co.za , for all your bookings. The Capital on the Park is also in partnership with Southern Sun Katherine Street, therefore, this serves as the second-best option if it is fully booked. The same rate will apply, and patrons will be transported from The Capital on the Park free of charge to the Southern Sun Kathrene’s Street.
