Cancelation and Refund Policy:
Cancelations will be accepted through COB (5:00 pm EDT) on October 7, 2022, and must be received in writing, to registration@same.org. Registration fees will be refunded in full minus a handling and processing charge of $100.00 for individual registration. If you are a government employee or your registration fee is $0.00, you will not be charged a cancelation fee if you cancel. SAME regrets that refunds cannot be issued after October 7, 2022. You may transfer your registration to a colleague if circumstances prevent you from attending the event.
The cancelation fee and deadline do not apply to government registrations. Government registrations will receive full refunds at any time. Please send cancelations to registration@same.org.
Registration Transfer:
To transfer your registration to someone else in your company, please have the substitute register for SBC. When they get to the Payment page, click the down arrow for the “Payment Method” and select “send invoice” from the menu. They should complete the Registration, but do not pay. Then, send an email to registration@same.org when this is completed to request the transfer. Your original registration will be canceled and the fee paid will be transferred to the substitute’s registration. *If the substitute’s fee is different (member vs non-member or a different fee category, i.e. Advanced vs Early) the difference will be charged.* However, if the original registrant has a Complimentary Exhibitor Full Conference registration (or other $0 registration), please request this registration be cancelled by sending an email to registration@same.org.. Once that is completed, the substitute can register and select the $0 registration fee.
**Transfer requests must be submitted to registration@same.org by COB (5:00 pm, EST) on Friday, October 28, 2022. After this deadline, transfers must be completed onsite.**
