2026 Conference Cancellation and Refund Policy - Effective 3/1/2026

​

If the 2026 conference cannot be held in person due to unforeseen circumstances, an emergency, or a public health crisis, we will shift to a virtual conference if at all possible. Registrants will automatically be registered for the virtual version of the conference and they will receive a 50% refund of 2026 registration fees. If a virtual conference cannot be delivered, we will refund as much as possible and provide a credit for a future conference for any amount we cannot refund. Please know that this policy only exists in case of extreme circumstances. As a self-funded community-based conference, if an emergency cancellation occurs, we will need everyone's understanding and cooperation. 

REFUNDS & TRANSFERS

• Our 2026 conference has a no-refund policy. Refunds will not be available unless the event is fully cancelled by the host.

• We cannot offer you credit to a future event if you cannot attend.

• You can transfer your registration to another woman up to 2 weeks before the event, however changes (such as lodging type or food preferences) cannot be altered that close to the event. Transfers must be submitted in writing, via email, and confirmed by us to be valid.

​

CANCELLATIONS

• If the 2026 conference cannot be held in person due to unforeseen circumstances, an emergency, or a public health crisis, we will shift to a virtual conference if at all possible. Registrants will automatically be registered for the virtual version of the conference and they will receive a 50% refund of 2026 registration fees. 

• If the event cannot be held virtually or in person, we will refund the highest amount we are able. Please note that this is a self-funded community-based event. If an emergency or public crisis occurs after we have already incurred expenses, we will not be able to refund 100% of your registration fees. We will provide a credit that can be applied to a future conference for any amounts we cannot refund.

​

NOTICES

• Please know that unforeseen circumstances occur, we will be working hard to minimize the impact, financial and otherwise, on every person involved. However, as a self-funded community-based conference, if an emergency situation or cancellation occurs, we will need everyone's understanding and cooperation.
