Registration FAQs

Any registration cancelled prior to approximately 3 weeks before the start of the symposium will be refunded fully minus $50.  After that date, there will be no refunds issued for registration fees and all fees paid will be forfeited.  For the exact cut-off date, consult the symposium program on the website.  If you want to transfer your registration to someone else in your organization and instead of cancel, you need to contact the MEA before the symposium and provide all the information needed to do a transfer.

If you want to transfer your registration to someone else in your organization and not cancel, you need to contact the MEA before the symposium and provide all the information needed to do a transfer. The substitution must be communicated to Ron Mancini (ronemancini@gmail.com) or Jonathan P Wood (jonathan.p.wood@lmco.com) prior to the event.  We will not accept a substitution if someone shows up at the conference who was not previously identified as a substitute prior to the event.  Anyone showing up as a substitute not previously identified will be considered a new registration and will have to pay the full late registration fee at that time.

If the event is cancelled due to circumstances that warrant a cancellation by the MEA or outside forces then there will be a full refund of registration fees paid to MEA for that year’s symposium. Delegates are responsible for managing their own travel and accommodation costs.
