Registration Fee / Cancellation
The Board of Trustees of the Conferences has established a registration fee for all resident participants (speakers, discussion leaders, conferees) at each Conference. This registration fee is established to encourage attendance for the entire Conference and to provide the Conference Budget which is available to each Conference Chair. The registration fee will be charged regardless of the length of time a participant (speakers, discussion leaders, conferees) attends the Conference.
The registration fee will cover registration, room as specified, and meals for resident conferees. It will not provide for recreation, faxes, taxi, laundry, conference photograph or any other personal expenses. A registration fee is also established for non-resident conferees.
Accommodations (rooms and meals) are available for guests. These accommodations are limited in number and will be assigned in the order requests are received. All activities at a Gordon Research Conference, including meal and recreation times, are intended to promote and facilitate scientific discussion and exchange information. If it is necessary for young children to accompany a conferee, it is expected that they will not be disruptive to the Conference. You are encouraged to contact the GRC office and your Conference Chair to be sure adequate accommodations are available. The registration fee for guests is published in the Conference Fee Schedule. Guests are not permitted to attend Conference lectures and discussion groups.
CANCELLATION
All but $40 of the registration fee will be returned if a completed registration is canceled prior to the Conference. All reimbursements are issued within 3-5 weeks after the conference. If your payment was made to GRC via credit card, the reimbursement will be issued to your credit card. If you did not use a credit card, your reimbursement will be in the form of a check in U.S. Dollars.
To cancel a registration, please email your conference coordinator (contact information here).
TRANSFERRING REGISTRATION & PAYMENT
The transfer of registrations from one participant to another is not permitted. Each participant must apply and be accepted on their own scientific merit. The online application is available on our web site. If the application deadline has passed, and you have been asked to replace a canceling participant, please contact your Conference Coordinator (contact information here).
If your application is accepted, a registration link will be provided via email which must be completed and returned. If you are not able to attend the meeting, please notify GRC immediately. All cancellations are subject to a $40 cancellation fee. If payment has been completed, you may transfer the payment, less a cancellation fee, to another participant. Please contact registration@grc.org for details.
