An IABC credit equivalent to 80 percent of your paid registration (excluding membership dues) will be issued for cancellations received on or between 14–20 June. This credit can be applied only toward the 2009 International Conference in San Francisco.
No refunds or credits will be granted for cancellations received after 20 June, or for no-shows. IABC will process all refunds/credits after the conference.
Additional-fee event tickets purchased individually are nonrefundable and nontransferable.
In the event that the conference is postponed due to natural disaster or any other cause beyond IABC's control, we will make every effort to reschedule. Any registration payments made will automatically be applied to the rescheduled event. If you choose not to attend the rescheduled conference, IABC will provide a full refund upon written request from the registrant.
Substitutions
If you are unable to attend the conference after registering, you may send someone in your place. Please follow these steps:
1) You must submit the person's name and contact information in writing to IABC prior to Friday, 13 June. Fax and e-mail requests will be honored.
2) If you are an IABC member, and your replacement is a non-member, s/he must pay any outstanding balance as a result of the difference in corresponding fees.
