Refund Policy

Last Updated: December 6, 2025

Overview

We want to ensure a fair and transparent refund process for all participants of FIRST PROOF Conference. This policy outlines the circumstances under which refunds will be issued and any applicable fees.

Full Refunds

You are eligible for a full refund of your registration fee in the following situations:

  • Event Cancellation: If FIRST PROOF Conference is cancelled, all registration fees will be fully refunded.
  • Registration Not Accepted: If we cannot accommodate your registration due to space limitations, you will receive a full refund.
  • Early Cancellation: If you cancel your registration more than 7 days before the conference date (by March 21st, 2026), you will receive a full refund.

Cancellations Within 7 Days

If you cancel your registration within 7 days of the conference (March 22nd - March 28th, 2026), no refund will be issued. This policy helps us maintain accurate planning for materials, food, and workspace, allowing us to keep the conference affordable and ensure an engaged community of participants.

No-Show and Late Arrival Policy

To ensure we can plan effectively and maintain an affordable, engaged conference:

  • No-Show: If you do not attend the conference without providing 7 days advance notice, you will be charged an additional $30 (beyond the original registration fee).
  • Late Arrival: If you arrive after 9:15 AM on conference day (March 28th, 2026) without providing 7 days advance notice, you will be charged an additional $30.
  • These fees are non-refundable and help offset the costs of materials, food, and space that were reserved for your attendance.
