A cancellation could always be an opportunity to exercise extraordinary generosity and donate your payments to our nonprofit's P-POD Scholarship Fund.

2023-ONWARD CHANGE for persons paying registration with a credit/debit card:  The card processor Square announced that for 2023 onward  it will NO LONGER refund the FEES it originally charged, when full or partial amounts get refunded.  This means that, for any P-POD cash refund amount that is allowed via the rules below, 2.9% + 30 cents of that refund can never be paid to you, because P-POD can never get the money back from Square.  E.g. a $90 refund becomes $87.  It's offensive, but we're stuck with it.
 

• Any cancellation that results from your own illness or that of your immediate family members, or from action by a government to prevent your travel, will allow you these options:

  • • applying toward any future P-POD event, all payments we received;  or

  • • in the case of your in-person event registration, applying your payments toward a virtual registration for the same event, and either applying the remainder toward any future P-POD event or refunding the difference;  or

  • • if notice is received more than 8 days before the conference you registered for, receiving full refunds without any cancellation fee.
     

• A cancellation for any other reason, requested 45 days or more prior to the conference you registered for, will allow you these options:

  • • applying toward any future P-POD event, all payments we received;  or

  • • in the case of your in-person event registration, applying your payments toward a virtual registration for the same event, and either applying the remainder toward any future P-POD event or refunding the difference;  or

  • • receiving a refund of all payments we received, minus $45 which will go into the P-POD Scholarship Fund.
     

• A cancellation for any other reason, requested less than 45 days but more than 8 days prior to the conference you registered for, will allow you these options:

  • • in the case of your in-person event registration, applying your payments toward the equivalent virtual registration for the same event, without refund or crediting of any remainder;  or

  • • in the case of your in-person event registration, refunding 35% of the total amounts paid, or else applying 70% of the total paid toward any future P-POD event (with remainders going to the P-POD Scholarship Fund);  or

  • • in the case of your virtual event registration, refunding 50% of the total amounts paid, or else applying 90% of the total paid toward any future P-POD event (with remainders going to the P-POD Scholarship Fund).
     

• A cancellation for any other reason, requested 8 days or less prior to the conference you registered for, will allow you this option:

  • • applying toward any other P-POD event, 1/3rd of all payments we received, with the remainder going to the P-POD Scholarship Fund.
