Provided that space is available, online enrollment constitutes registration. Written or email cancellations, received 15 working days prior to the beginning of the program (on or before November 16th) will be honored with a partial refund of the registration fee, less an assessed administrative fee ($50). Late cancellations or non-attendance are non-refundable, and payment is expected in full. Substitutions can be made at any time.
*To be able to provide a virtual option for attendees in need of this service, there is an additional audio-visual cost. Because of this, the virtual option is listed at a higher rate. These virtual spots are limited. In addition, in person and virtual registrations are not transferable. You will not be allowed to change from one program to the other due to contractual obligations with the hotel on headcounts for each type of program and costs associated with it.
