IA-AWWA REGISTRATION POLICIES

PAYMENT IN ADVANCE
Full payment is required to gain entrance to the IA-AWWA event.

SUBSTITUTION, CANCELLATION & REFUND
Substitutions are accepted at any time. Cancellations submitted to IA-AWWA via email at [email protected] no later than February 16, 2024 will be refunded the registration fee. No-shows and cancellations not received by February 16, 2024 will not be eligible for a refund.

EVENT CANCELLATION OR POSTPONEMENT
IA-AWWA reserves the exclusive right to modify, postpone/reschedule or cancel programs for any reason, including but not limited to emergency, inclement weather or other 'acts of God'. If there is an event cancellation, every attempt will be made to reschedule, and registration fees will be applied to the rescheduled event date. Any travel, lodging, or incidental expenses incurred related to a cancelled event cannot be reimbursed by IA-AWWA under any circumstances. If a cancelled event cannot be rescheduled, IA-AWWA will determine an equitable basis for the refund of a portion or all of the registration fees, after due consideration of circumstances and expenditures.
