If you are registering on behalf of another individual, it is your responsibility to ensure the person participating is aware of these terms and accepts them. By completing the registration on behalf of another individual you are warranting that you have made the Participant aware of these terms and that they have accepted these terms.

Cancellation and Quality Assurance

We will evaluate individual complaints in a context of collective comments from the Virtual Event. As speakers are confirmed months before the Virtual Event, some speaker changes or topic changes may occur in the program. Cherokee Media Group is not responsible for speaker changes, but will work to ensure a comparable speaker is located to participate in the program.
- Cancellations of Virtual Events are subject to the entire Virtual Event registration fee. All sales are final. No payments will be refunded or refundable. Please note that if you do not cancel and do not access the Virtual Event, you are still responsible for payment. In no event shall Cherokee Media Group be obligated to refund all or a portion of the registration fee. Cancellations of In Person events are subject to an 18% cancellation fee, requests to cancel must be submitted 30 days prior to the start of the event date.
