Cancellation by Attendee: Except as may be otherwise expressly advised as part of the particular Event’s registration process, you may cancel your registration at any time.

Unfortunately, Questex cannot refund any fees for cancellations that occur less than 30 days prior to the original Event start date, or for failure to attend an Event. If a cancellation changes the entitlement to a multi-registration discount, the lowest value registration will be cancelled first. No cancellations are accepted once any part of a single or multi registration party has accessed the pre-Event networking or partnering facilities, applications or platforms. All cancellations must be sent by email to [email protected] marked for the attention of Customer Services and must be received by Questex.
