Cancelation Policy
We realize that every attendee’s situation is unique and in a state of constant change, not to mention the heavy hit that many in our community took during this pandemic. FAI’s goal is to provide flexibility and minimize risk for our attendees. As a result, we have implemented a new cancelation policy for this year.
- Once you register, registration fees are fully refundable if you cancel by April 28, 2022.
- Alternatively, you may defer your registration to the 2023 conference. A transfer has no cash value. Conference transfers cannot be used toward membership fees nor do they guarantee future exhibit space and have no cash value and cannot be refunded.
- Another alternative is to request a partial refund of registrations fees if you’d like to switch your registration to online-only access to the virtual portion of the event.
- Refund Policy: The deadline to request a full refund or transfer your registration to the 2023 conference is April 28, 2022. Cancelations and transfers must be received by the stated deadline and will be only be accepted by completing this form.
- No-shows for the event will not receive a refund or credit toward a future event.
- There are no refunds or credits for cancelations after April 28th, 2022, including due to illness or weather.
- There are no substitutions of participants allowed except in the case of company employees, which will be determined on a case-by-case basis by the FAI office.
- There are typically no refunds or credits for failure to redeem a promo code during registration as it’s an administrative burden; however, we acknowledge that the workaround is canceling the registration since we removed the fee.
