2019 AFERM Summit Cancellation & Refund Policy

Refunds, less a $50 processing fee per registrant, will be granted for requests received in writing to meetings@agacgfm.org by October 8, 2019. Refunds will not be granted after this date. No-shows are responsible for full payment.

Refunds will NOT be processed for Promotion Codes not entered before checking out.

As long as the Summit takes place as planned, AFERM is not responsible for registrants being unable to attend the Summit for any reason, including a government shutdown, and, is therefore unable to issue refunds.
