Program Cancellation
Virtual and in-person event refund policy
We work hard to bring you world-class learning events virtually and in person that meet your needs. At times, given unforeseen circumstances, there may be a need for an ASCD event to be canceled or postponed. When this happens, ASCD will refund your event registration fee but will not be responsible for costs associated with in-person events, including but not limited to, cancellation/change fees associated with hotel, airline, other transportation, or travel agency fees. In these uncertain times, it is recommended you do not purchase nonrefundable, nonchangeable flights or hotel stays. ASCD will not refund registration fees due to weather or travel-related cancellations or delays.

You may send a nonregistered person in your place, request a gift certificate for ASCD products or future ASCD events, or a refund.
