I am not a member, can I access the discounted member rates?

The discounted rate is a membership benefit; therefore, you would need to become a BAPRAS member to take advantage of this perk. 

If you are interested in becoming a BAPRAS member and you complete your application until 27 September, you will be allowed to register for Congress at the member rate, provided your application is complete and pending approval.
