Click on the “New Registration” button and follow the prompts.

 

I cannot find my Registration Confirmation email.

A registration confirmation email is sent automatically once you have completed your online registration. It serves as your official invoice and is sent to the email address you used to register (as well as the email in the “additional email address” field, if entered).

If you have not received your registration confirmation, please follow these steps:

  1. Wait 60 minutes after registering. Occasionally registration confirmations are slightly delayed if the system is particularly busy.
  2. Check your clutter and spam folders. The subject of the email will be “Registration Confirmed – IHW 2024”.
  3. Email Register@ConferenceSolutionsInc.com and request that your registration confirmation be resent.

What is included in the workshop registration fee?

Workshop registration includes:

  • Name badge and entry to all satellites, symposia, workshops and poster sessions.
  • Electronic PDFs of the abstract book, attendee roster, and certificate of attendance. (Printed abstract book must be ordered at registration for an additional $20)
  • All scheduled workshop meals as outlined in the workshop program (Closing Banquet requires pre-registration through the registration website).

 

Can I just attend one day of the workshop?

One-day registrations are not available for this workshop.

 

I just want to attend the Satellite Workshops – is that possible?

The Satellite Workshops are included with the full workshop registration fee. In order to attend any of the Satellite Workshops, you must register for the full workshop. 

 

I have already completed my registration, but I need to modify it. How can I do that?

To modify your registration please email Register@ConferenceSolutionsInc.com.

 

I can no longer attend the workshop, but my colleague is available. What is the substitution policy?

Payment of a $50 administrative fee enables you to transfer your registration to another person, simply by emailing Register@ConferenceSolutionsInc.com. Substitutions will be transferred at the same rate as the original registration. Additional items are non-transferable and will be refunded to the original payment on or before 14 June 2024. Substitutions can be made at anytime or at the onsite Registration Desk.

 

I need to cancel my registration. What is the cancellation policy?

We understand that events may occur that prevent you from attending the conference. We are happy to accommodate a refund for your purchase if you are unable to find a substitute prior to the deadline. Cancellation requests must be made in writing by emailing Register@ConferenceSolutionsInc.com. Cancellations received by 14 June 2024 will be refunded, less a 20% administrative fee (USD). Unfortunately, no refunds will be given for cancellation requests after 14 June 2024. Refunds of credit card payments will be made to the same account used for the payment.

 

If, for any reason, the conference should be canceled, IHW 2024 will refund the registration fee. The conference is not responsible for the refund of airfare, hotel, or other costs.

 

I still want to attend the workshop, but need to cancel an excursion. What is the cancellation for excursions?
