International Forum Cancellation Information


After we have assessed the ongoing covid-19 pandemic situation in large parts of Asia and the resulting capacity of our audience and supporters to engage in the conference delivery and attendance, we have made the decision to cancel International Forum Asia 2021 while this is still a possibility.


Please read our frequently asked questions below.


  • I am already registered for the International Forum Asia 2021, how can I transfer my registration to the virtual Australasia 2021 event on 8-10 September?

    Please email our support team at events@bmj.com who will be able to transfer your booking.

  • I would like a refund for the International Forum Asia 2021

    Please send your refund request to events@bmj.com. We will endeavour to refund all paid delegates within one month (on or before Friday 24 September).

  • I have purchased a ticket for either the Europe, Australasia and Asia International Forums or Australasia and Asia International Forums, how do I get a refund?

    You will be refunded for the International Forum Asia 2021 portion of your bundle ticket price.

    If you have paid by card, our customer service team will arrange for your refund to be credited back on to the card that you made payment with.

    Our Call for ePosters for the upcoming International Forum in Gothenburg on 30 March – 1 April 2022 is currently open and you can submit here.
