What ticket types are available?

There are two main ticket categories:

• Delegate Pass – for in-house professionals from organisations that buy, source, or manage supply chains.

• Solution Provider Pass – for companies that sell products, services, or technology solutions into those industries.

What’s included with my ticket?

All tickets include full access to the day’s sessions, panels, and networking events, as well as breakfast, lunch, and the closing reception.

Can I transfer my ticket?

Yes. Tickets are non-refundable but may be transferred to a colleague from the same organisation. Please email info@ethica.live to arrange a name change.

Can I get a refund if I can’t attend?

Tickets are non-refundable. However, you may transfer your ticket to another colleague at no additional cost.

How do I know if I qualify for a Delegate or Solution Provider pass?

Delegate passes are for in-house professionals (for example, those in procurement, legal, ESG, or sustainability roles). If you represent a company that sells or markets solutions or services to supply chain professionals, you will need a Solution Provider pass.
