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 25, 2014. No cancellations can be accepted after April 25, 2014. Because cancellations incur substantial administrative costs, we regret that it is necessary to charge a cancellation fee of $50 per person through February 28, 2014, or $150 per person if you cancel after February 28, 2014 through April 25, 2014. 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.
