Event booking and cancellation
Cancellation of event
In the unlikely event that We have to cancel an event, We will refund any pre-paid registration fees
Refund policy, cancellations, and amendments to conference programs
If you are unable to attend an event and need to cancel a booking, let Us know in advance and in writing by email to [email protected].
Where a fee has been charged, you will be reimbursed as follows:
- Where written confirmation is received at least 31 days prior to the start of an event, the delegate will be entitled to a full refund less 25% administration costs.
- Where written confirmation is received between 30 and 14 days prior to the start of an event, the delegate will be entitled to a refund of 50%.
- Where written confirmation is received less than 14 days prior to the start of an event, there will be no refund given.
- We appreciate that occasionally nominated delegates are unable to attend. Substitute delegates will be accepted free of charge up to 5 days prior the event (to ensure that correct name badges are available on the day). Notice should be given in writing, and the new delegate will be required to submit a completed registration form. If conference documentation (joining instructions etc) has already been sent to the original delegate, it is the responsibility of that delegate to ensure that the replacement delegate receives this documentation. Substitute delegates attending events without prior notice are subject to the fees applicable to their membership type; for example, if a non-member attends in place of a member, there will be an additional amount to pay.
- Registration packages and optional registration elements such as dinner tickets and additional sessions cannot be split between multiple delegates.
- It is Our policy to cancel conferences or events that are under-subscribed.
- For in-person events, the date on which We cancel will largely be determined by the venue’s cancellation terms and charges and the booked delegate numbers on a certain date. To ensure that the maximum number of in-person conferences go ahead, please try to book your place as early as possible.
- For virtual events, the date on which We cancel will be determined by our agreement with external speakers and the booked delegate numbers on a certain date. To ensure that the maximum number of virtual events go ahead, please try to book your place as early as possible.
- If an event is postponed or cancelled, delegates for whom We have received a registration form will be given as much notice as possible and offered either a full refund or the option to transfer to another event. If a conference or event is postponed or cancelled, We do not accept liability for any costs (such as pre-booked travel or accommodation) incurred by delegates.
- Sometimes we need to make amendments to the published conference programme, timings, or named speakers, and we reserve the right to do so without notice.
