Can I cancel / change my registration?
Cancellations:
If you have already paid for your place within your enrolment and we have received payment for this then we are unable to offer a refund, we can however in certain circumstances carry your place forward to the following year. If you have not paid within your Weqas enrolment then we can look into this for you, it will however depend on where we are in the financial process (e.g. if we have already invoiced you on receipt of a PO and this has been paid) then we would need to assess this on an individual basis depending on the reasons for the cancellation.
 
Please note, if we have already given final numbers to the hotel then cancellation will not be possible (final numbers are usually given to the hotel 6 weeks in advance of the conference).
