Cancellation Policy: Go to the FBA Online Portal and click on Events > My Registrations to cancel your registration online. Registration cancellations received by Friday, September 26 entitle registrants to a full refund. Cancellations received between Saturday, September 27 – Wednesday, October 22 are subject to an administrative charge of $50. No cancellation requests will be accepted after Wednesday, October 22, but the conference materials will still be made available. After the posted cancellation date, registrations may be transferred to another attendee but not refunded. No-shows will be billed. Exceptions to the cancellation deadline will be made for emergencies and valid medical issues submitted with supporting documentation. Contact meetings@fedbar.org with questions or exception requests.

Group Registrations: Organizations may register multiple attendees with a single payment using the Register Now button at the top of the page. To begin, an account must be created through the FBA Portal, followed by navigating to Registration > Group Registration. If no group appears, select +Start a New Group. Attendees can be added using the Register Attendee button. If an individual does not appear in the dropdown menu, select Add Someone Not on This List. Once attendee information and registration type are confirmed, the process can be repeated until all participants have been added. To finalize, select Complete Group Purchase to review and submit payment. Confirmation emails will be sent to both the group administrator and all registered attendees. When registering on behalf of someone else, ensure the attendee’s information is entered accurately.

Invoice Policy: Conference registrations should be processed online by the individual or organization using a credit card. Organizations can process group registrations online within one payment transaction using the primary registration sign-up page. The association will only issue a registration invoice if the participant requires a formal invoice to secure payment for participation. Registration invoice requests will not be accepted within two weeks of the event date. Payment is due within 30 days of receipt or by the event date, whichever is sooner. Failure to make payment within the stipulated timeframe may result in the revocation of attendance privileges. The FBA accepts payment by all major credit cards, ACH, and electronic check.

Financial Assistance: Program registrants (both FBA members and nonmembers) who are unable to afford the registration fee may receive a 50% discount on the member rate. Qualifying attorneys include those who are unemployed or actively seeking employment. A formal letter requesting the discount must be emailed to meetings@fedbar.org. That letter needs to state the reason for the attorney’s interest in the course or activity, as well as proof of income or an explanation of the financial hardship, and it must be signed by the requesting lawyer.
