Cancellation Policy: Registration cancellations received by Friday, August 21 entitle registrants to a full refund. Cancellations received between Saturday, August 22 – Friday, September 11, may still be refunded but are subject to an cancellation fee of $50. No cancellation refunds will be processed after Friday, September 11, but the conference materials will still be made available. After the posted cancellation date, registrations may be transferred to another attendee but not refunded. No-shows will be billed. Exceptions to the cancellation deadline will be made for emergencies and valid medical issues submitted with supporting documentation. All cancellation requests must be received via email to meetings@fedbar.org.

Invoice Policy: Conference registrations should be processed online by the individual or organization using a credit card. Organizations can process group registrations online within one payment transaction using the primary registration sign-up page. The association will only issue a registration invoice if the participant requires a formal invoice to secure payment for participation. Registration invoice requests will not be accepted within two weeks of the event date. Payment is due within 30 days of receipt or by the event date, whichever is sooner. Failure to make payment within the stipulated timeframe may result in the revocation of attendance privileges.

Financial Assistance: Program registrants (both FBA members and nonmembers) who are unable to afford the registration fee may receive a 50% discount on the member rate. Qualifying attorneys include those who are unemployed or actively seeking employment. A formal letter requesting the discount must be emailed to meetings@fedbar.org. That letter needs to state the reason for the attorney’s interest in the course or activity, as well as proof of income or an explanation of the financial hardship, and it must be signed by the requesting lawyer.
