All cancellations must be in writing. Cancellations postmarked on or before 1 September 2007 will incur a fee of 50% of the registration amount. No refunds will be made for cancellations for the Conference postmarked on or after 1 September 2007.
Late Registrations
Registrations for the TEM conference will close one week prior to the starting date i.e. 15 September, 2007, to enable appropriate pre-conference preparations. However, late registrations will be accepted onsite. A late fee of $50 AUD will be applied. Delegates who choose to register onsite will be required to pay for all related costs immediately, via cash, the provision of a cheque or credit card number. Receipts will be sent to the delegate concerned after the conference.
The organisers cannot guarantee that collateral, such as satchels, will be available to late registering delegates. In addition, there is a risk that social program functions may be fully subscribed. This policy has been implemented to enable a greater efficiency in the coordination necessary during the lead-up to the conference, and to ensure the most enjoyable conference experience possible for everyone involved.
