Dear 2023 KBS Participant,
It's been a great KBS 2023 and we now look forward to a successful KBS 2024!
In that spirit, please return your lanyards to the registration desk. If no one is there, simply lay yours on the table.
If for some reason you cannot do that, please hand yours to a colleague who can return it for you.
Thanks very much in helping our Perth friends leave with heavier luggage!
Best regards and safe onward travels,
2023 KBS LOC
