C. No refunds will be made if the conference attendee cancels on or after the first day of the conference.
Fees for additional activities such as networking events may or may not be refunded depending on TAICEP’s ability to secure refunds for these events from vendors. Participants in additional activities who do not show up at an activity will be charged the full fee.
