Please note the following updates to our payment policy for attendance at the FFCA Conference. We now exclusively accept credit card payments through our online enrollment system, powered by EZFacility. Please be aware that check payments will no longer be accepted due to unpaid attendance from some organizations and government agencies. We will need proof of authorization if you need to enroll by purchase order. We want to remind you that we have a strict no-cancellations refund policy but offer a limited transfer policy for registrations. This policy has existed for over a decade and is essential for us as a 501 C3 nonprofit organization.
It is important to send payment on time to attend the FFCA Conference. Failure to do so will result in at-the-door terms if payment is processed after the conference. Please note that we reserve the right to reject any applications to attend future FFCA Conferences or Specialty Programs, especially in cases of non-payment. Our refund policy states that all FFCA Conference purchases are final and not eligible for return or exchange. We cannot offer refunds, returns, or exchanges on event purchases. Therefore, no refunds are given on any registrations, purchases, etc.
Attendees cannot cancel FFCA Conference registration, as all sales are final and non-reversible. We cannot make exceptions for emergencies, extreme weather, pandemics, natural disasters, or labor strikes. However, the attendee may send someone in their place, subject to these Terms and Conditions.
Also, please note that registration cannot be transferred to a future FFCA Collaborative event. All attendee(s) and registered participants who do not attend are liable for the entire registration fee. No refunds will be given on any purchases, and all sales are final, with no exceptions.
