As a component of the CTBUH 2018 Polycentric Cities Conference, those delegates that attend the Smart Tall Buildings Symposium will automatically be registered for the encompassing conference and can choose which sessions to attend on the day, from the whole conference. This means that symposium delegates can engage with the conference for two, three, four, or all six days of programming, which include technical workshops, speaker and poster presentations, program rooms, panel discussions, social networking events, exhibitions, off-site programs, and even a two-day regional program in Abu Dhabi, UAE! The symposium is thus a fantastic opportunity to learn from, and engage with, the wider tall building industry.

- Due to venue limitations on maximum attendance and CTBUH annual conferences regularly selling out several weeks in advance, an initial limit of 30 colleagues from any one company has been set for registration in the interest of being fair to all CTBUH members who wish to attend. Any colleagues over the 30-people-per-company limit are advised to add their name to the waitlist, in case spaces become available. Notification will be given as soon as possible on this after wait-listing, and certainly no later than one month before the event itself.
