CANCELLATION, REFUND, & SUBSTITUTION POLICY

APC hopes everyone who registers for the Fall Seminar will be able to attend; however, we know extenuating circumstances do occur. The APC Fall Seminar Cancellation, Refund & Substitution Policy will be as follows to assure consistency and is applicable to the annual APC Fall Seminar:

• All Fall Seminar attendee registrations cancelled by November 6, 2026, are refundable but subject to a $50 administrative fee.
• All Fall Seminar exhibitor registrations cancelled by October 30, 2026, are refundable but subject to a $50 administrative fee.
• Attendee Registrants canceling on or after November 6, 2026, will not receive a refund. Exhibitor Registrants canceling on or after October 30, 2026, will not receive a refund.The refund and cancellation policy will not be waived. Registration fees may be transferred to another individual; the invoice for the new registration will be revised to reflect the new registrant. In the event there are government/health or venue restrictions, and APC must cancel the Fall Seminar due to unforeseen circumstances, APC will refund the cost of registration. However, APC does not assume responsibility for any additional costs, charges, or expenses; to include, charges made for travel and lodging.
• If the government/venue restrict attendance; the last exhibit booths to register will be the first to be eliminated. Those exhibit booths eliminated will receive a full refund.

Onsite transfers must be accompanied by proof of the original confirmation. The individual submitting the transfer request is responsible for all financial obligations (any balance due) associated with that substitution. Badge sharing, registration splitting, and reprints are strictly prohibited.
