Registration policies for international conferences may vary depending on the organizers and the nature of the conference. However, some common registration policies are:

  1. Early bird registration: Many conferences offer an early bird discount for attendees who register early. This incentivizes attendees to register early and helps organizers get a headcount.
  2. Regular registration: After the early bird registration period, regular registration opens, where attendees can register at the standard rate. This period typically runs until a few weeks before the conference.
  3. On-site registration: Some conferences may allow attendees to register on-site, but this is usually more expensive than regular registration. On-site registration may also not guarantee access to all sessions or conference materials.
  4. Refund policy: Conference organizers may have a refund policy for cancellations. This policy outlines the timeline for cancellations and the amount that will be refunded. It is important to read and understand the refund policy before registering for a conference.
  5. Payment options: Conference organizers may offer various payment options, such as credit card, wire transfer, or PayPal. Attendees should confirm which payment methods are accepted before registering for a conference.
  6. Visa support: For international conferences, organizers may offer visa support to attendees who need to apply for a visa to attend the conference. This may include providing an invitation letter or other documentation to support the visa application process.
  7. Group registration: Some conferences may offer group registration discounts for attendees registering together. This can be a cost-effective way for companies or organizations to send multiple employees to a conference.
  • Before 60 days of the conference: Eligible for a full refund. (after a $100 Service Fee deduction)
  • Within 60-30 days before the Conference: Eligible for a 50% of payment Refund
  • Before 30 days of Conference: Not eligible for refund

In case of VISA refusal, the paid registration amount can be transferred to any other Ark Group Conferences scheduled in a year span of registration. 

In the unlikely event of cancellation of the conference by the Ark Group Conferences, delegates will be offered a full refund or a credit note against an equivalent future Ark Group Conferences.

Please note that delegate fees will not be refunded in the event of the threat of war, terrorism, or circumstances outside of the Ark Group Conference’s control. The ARK Group reserves the right to make minor alterations to the content and timing of the program or to the identity of the speakers.
