There is a 72–hour cancellation policy in place for all reservations. Failure to cancel a reservation 72 hours (about 3 days) prior to arrival will result in a one–night non–refundable guest room charge plus applicable taxes posted to the attendee's credit card on file.

Privacy Policy

FIA enforces robust policies to safeguard the personal information that is entrusted to us by FIA event registrants and the broader FIA community. We encourage you to review our Privacy Statement. There are a few aspects of our privacy policies that we would like to highlight in connection with the event. 

FIA maintains delegate lists for each of our events. The delegate lists contain the name, title, firm and/or office location of the event registrants. FIA may share the delegate list with current or prospective attendees, sponsors, and/or exhibitors, including through our mobile event app, as applicable. Typically we find that attendees want to be included on the delegate list to realize the full networking benefits of our events. If you registered on our website for the event, you were prompted to indicate whether you wanted to be included on the delegate list. If another person registered you for the event – for example, through FIA’s group registration process – FIA prompted that person to indicate whether to include you on the delegate list. We only include individuals on the delegate list where an affirmative indication has been made. You may contact us to check whether you are included on the delegate list and/or change your preference.

FIA never sells its delegate lists to third parties and will never contact you offering to sell such information. We regret that you may become the target of unsolicited offers from third parties purporting to have an FIA delegate list for sale. Sometimes the third parties claim to be affiliated or suggest an affiliation with FIA. These offers and third parties are not sanctioned by FIA.  We appreciate your assistance in bringing them to our attention. 

Filming, Videotaping and Recording Policy

No portion of this event may be filmed, videotaped or otherwise recorded for posting or distribution without prior authorization from FIA. Further, by registering for this program, you consent to FIA’s use, reproduction, editing, publishing and distribution of any photographs, videos and other recordings that FIA or its designated photographer may take of registrants and attendees during the program. 

Policy: This event is open to the press. Speakers and panellists may be identified and quoted. Please read FIA’s Media Policy for further information: https://www.fia.org/fia/articles/fia-media-policy
