Full refunds will not be provided if the Conference will be provided online via videoconference.

If the Conference is postponed, we will provide you with substitute passes to the Conference at a later date. No refunds will be provided if the Conference is postponed. In the unlikely event of cancellation of the Conference, our total aggregate liability to you is limited to the refund of registration fees actually paid by you that remain after credit card and payment processing fees have been incurred and deducted. In no event will we be liable to you for any expenditure, damage or loss incurred by you as a result of the cancellation.
