Wetland Science Conference Cancellation Policy
All sales are final and no refunds are available.
No refunds will be given for conference registrations as oral presentation session recordings will be available on-demand following the conference. If you are not able to attend the in-person conference and you notify us in writing no later than two weeks prior to the first day of the conference, we will refund the difference between an in-person conference registration and an on-demand-only registration. No refunds of conference fees will be made in the case of non-attendance or less than two weeks’ notice. Substitutions will be accepted. Field trips, workshops, and on-demand registration fees are non-refundable as we have fixed costs for running these sessions (e.g. instructor costs, bus rental) that we cover through the fees we charge for them.
Thank you for understanding our need for this policy. Please call 608-250-9971 if you have any questions.
