Cancellation Policy
Cancellation of a conference registration does not constitute cancellation of a hotel room. Please be sure to handle both separately. Cancellation and refund requests must be received by AMIA in writing. By September 22, 2008: Full refund minus $50 processing fee. Between September 23, 2008 and October 23, 2008: 50% refund. After October 23, 2008: No refund will be issued. However, registrations can be transferred to another member of your organization.

Transfer of Paid Registrations Policy
Registrants who are unable to attend the meeting may transfer their registration to another person. Transfer of registration must be in writing and received by the AMIA office by October 19 or presented on-site. If a member registration is transferred to a non-member, that person will have to pay the difference between the member and the non-member rates.

Payment
On-line registration is for credit card payment only. If you would like to pay by check, purchase order, or wire transfer, send or fax the print registration form to the AMIA office.
