SUBSTITUTIONS AND CANCELLATIONS

Substitutions are permissible up to seven days before the conference, but you must notify PIRI in writing by fax or mail. Cancellations must be requested no later than April 5, 2013. No cancellations can be accepted after April 5, 2013. Because cancellations incur substantial administrative costs, we regret that it is necessary to charge a cancellation fee of $45 per person through February 8, 2013, or $95 per person if you cancel after February 8, 2013 but before April 5, 2013. Cancellations must be sent in writing to PIRI at: 35 Highland Circle, First Floor, Needham, MA 02494-3099 or faxed to PIRI at (781) 449-4024.
