Cancelation Policy
- Once you register, registration fees are fully refundable if you cancel by December 31, 2022.
- Alternatively, you may defer your registration to the 2024 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.
- Refund Policy: The deadline to request a full refund or transfer your registration to the 2024 conference is December 31, 2022. Cancelations and transfers are no longer accepted.
- If you are volunteering and need a refund on your registration, then email Beth Hatch (volunteer@folk.org) for instructions.
