Frequently asked questions about event cancellations, transfers and refunds

No longer able to attend an event? Below is some guidance on what to do when you need to cancel, transfer, or request a refund on your event.

If you are unable to attend a free event, we ask that you inform us as soon as possible, so we are able to allow another delegate a space on the event.

To be eligible for a refund we must be made aware of any cancellations at least 14 days prior to the event start date. Once the refund has been actioned this can take 10-14 working days for the funds to return to the original payment method.

For any refund requests made within 14 days of the event start date you will not be eligible for a refund, if you unable to attend the event you are able transfer the event to another individual.

Places can be transferred at any time up to and including the day of the event. Please note an additional charge may be applicable if the new attendee is not entitled to the same rate.

Transfer your booking to new date

A delegate place can be transferred to another event, if the request to us is received more than 21 days before the event.
