Registration and Credentials

 Delegates for the AGM will be registered on the EIS database and we will use that database to disseminate AGM papers and information. We will have to share each delegate’s name and email address with CameronLive in order for it to register each delegate on the HopIn platform that will be used to host AGM. If you have not received a registration email from Hopin by 31 May 2021 then please contact Lucy Murray (lmurray@eis.org.uk).

We will email delegates separately to seek your permission for the EIS to use any photograph that they are in during the AGM, as required under the new General Data Protection Regulations.
