Refund Policy

A cancellation request must be received via email to SACESreg2018@gmail.com. if you are also cancelling your presentation, please copy SACESconference2018@gmail.com as well. An administrative fee will be assessed to cover registration costs, credit card transaction fees, and conferences expenses incurred as a result of the registration. All refund requests must be received in writing by 10/31/18.

Weather-related late cancellations: We committed to keeping registration prices low over the past several years. However, we have already committed extensive financial resources for the conference spaces, hotel rooms, receptions, meals, totes, lanyards, programs, etc. based on registrations. With weather-related events impacting conference travel, we lose money with late cancellations. Therefore, the $100 admin fee is designed to offset the losses and still allow us to cover our conference and operating budgets for the next two years.

  • Cancel before September 27, 2018 - a full refund less a $20 admin fee
  • After September 27, 2018 - a refund less a $100 admin fee
