Will paid attendee and exhibitor registrations be refunded?

What do I need to do to receive my refund if a meeting has been cancelled?

Nothing! Your refund will be processed automatically by AASHTO via your original form of payment. If you paid by credit card you will receive an email from both CVENT and AASHTO once the refund has been processed. If you paid by check, a member of the AASHTO team will contact you to verify who the refund check should be made payable to and the address where the check should be mailed. Please allow 30 days for processing.

Will attendees and exhibitors be refunded for airline tickets?

AASHTO is not responsible for attendee air travel accommodations. We encourage you to consult directly with your air carrier for information. Many airlines have relaxed cancellation policies, and you may be able to change your ticket for a later date. You can find additional information online here.

Will attendees and exhibitors be refunded for hotel costs?

You should not be charged for cancelling your hotel reservation.

Will exhibitors be refunded for booth space?

AASHTO will be contacting all Exhibitors to offer additional information on refunds. Please look for an email from Charlotte Keppers soon.

What is AASHTO’s cancellation policy?

All registration cancellations must be made by the date specified for the meeting. Typically, this is 24-30 days before the event begins. Please check the event website for cancellation date and cancellation instructions. A $150 fee is charged to process cancellations. After the cancellation deadline has passed no refunds will be given/granted. Additionally, no refunds will be issued for No Shows, those who register but do not attend the meeting. Your refund will be processed via your original method of payment. Please allow 30 days for check refunds.

If registration fees are not paid in full and registration is cancelled within the time frame listed on the meeting site, you will be responsible for paying the applicable cancellation processing fee of $150. Additionally, if registration fees are not paid in full and a cancellation has not been received by event start date, AASHTO will invoice you for the full registration amount.

This cancellation policy is necessary as AASHTO has to make financial commitments to event venues or speakers to ensure a successful event. Thus to cover the cost we incur for holding your registration a cancellation fee is charged.

Are there travel discounts for event attendees?

C/O <Meeting Name>
Mail to:
AASHTO 1
P.O. Box 615051
Washington DC 20061-5051

What is AASHTO’s substitution policy?

If you are unable to attend the meeting but are able to send a colleague in your place, we encourage you to do so. There is no cost to make a substitution and substitutions can be made at any time. To request a registration substitution, the registered individual should send an email to the meeting planner listed on the event website. All registration details will be transferred to the new registrant unless otherwise specified. So we encourage you to include the contact information of the new registrant in your request.
