A discount is offered for groups of 5 or more attendees for the full conference, registering at the same time using one form of payment, with confirmations being sent to one email address.

Purchase Orders

If a purchase order is being used, a copy must be attached to your online registration or sent by mail or fax with a copy of the invoice to ensure accuracy. Note that a valid copy of the purchase order, or complete payment, must be received within 21 days of submitting your registration or your registration will be cancelled.

Cancellation/Refund Policy
Cancellation requests must be received in writing on or before July 3, 2026.

The Joint Conference will issue a full refund minus a $50 cancellation fee per person for each individual or group registration. The Joint Conference will charge a $25 cancellation fee per person for student, emeritus and life member registration. Individuals and groups paying with a purchase order are still responsible for the cancellation fee.

Refund requests will not be honored after July 3, 2026, even for no-shows.

Substitutions are allowed but must be received via email or letter prior to July 29, 2026. Substitutes must submit a letter explaining who they are substituting (and include registration number if possible). Non-members substituting for members will be charged the current non-member registration rate. In addition, no discount will be given for members substituting for non-members.

Note that a group must contain at least 5 fully paid/non-cancelled/non-pending registrations to remain eligible for discounted pricing. If the confirmed group size drops below five, each remaining group participant will be changed to an individual and balance adjusted accordingly.

Refunds will be issued between eight and ten weeks after the Joint Conference.
