Cancellation policy:
Our policy is the same as that of other in-person professional conferences and online courses.
Registrants canceling up to two weeks before a conference or online class will
receive a 50% refund. No refunds are given after that. We are unable
to make exceptions to this rule, due to advance booking requirements, and the need to
reserve space in each class for enrolled students. Please consider travel
cancellation insurance whenever making travel plans. In case of an
unexpected force majeure that prevents a conference from being held, such as
pandemic or natural disaster, you are welcome to transfer into another of our
conferences at no extra charge, or move into one of our online Master Classes.
In the event that we must cancel a workshop or class for any other reason
and you do not wish to choose another workshop, you will receive a full
refund of your payment.
