To ensure a successful conference, we must make certain commitments with the venue. Those commitments have costs associated with them. Thus, should you, as an attendee, decide to cancel your Conference registration, your registration may be refundable if you provide written notice of your cancellation to the Company at [email protected]. If your attendee registration cancellation is received no later than 11:55 PM US Eastern on the date indicated below, your attendee registration fees shall be refunded as described below:

• On/before ninety (90) days before the Conference start date: Full refund of registration fees (less a $50 administration fee)
• On/before sixty (60) days before the Conference start date: 50% refund of registration fee (less a $50 administration fee)
• Within fifty-nine (59) days of the Conference start date: No refunds

If you cancel or change your attendee registration in accordance with these terms and are allowed a refund, any applicable fees will be refunded within sixty (60) days after receipt of the cancellation or change notice.

NOTE: If you do not attend the Conference, your registration and other fees will not be refunded unless you cancel your reservation in accordance with the above terms.

Please remember that canceling or changing your registration will not automatically cancel any hotel and travel arrangements you made. You are solely responsible for canceling your own hotel and travel reservations. The Company takes no responsibility for any damages, costs, or losses should you cancel or change your registration or if the Conference is cancelled or postponed.

The Company may cancel your individual registration at any time for convenience. Upon such cancellation for convenience by the Company, any fees previously paid by you shall be refunded.
