No refunds will be provided for no-shows.

Payment Terms

Full payment is due within 45 days of registration and must be received no later than 14 days prior to the start of the Conference.

Registrations with unpaid balances after these deadlines may be canceled at the discretion of the Florida Housing Coalition. Admission credentials and conference materials may be withheld until payment is received in full.

Discounted or early-bird rates are not guaranteed until payment is received.

Invoice / Offline Payment Option

If registering with the “invoice” or offline payment option, payment must be received according to the terms above. Failure to remit payment by the stated deadline may result in cancellation of the registration without further notice.

The Florida Housing Coalition shall not be held liable for failure to hold the Conference as scheduled due to events beyond its reasonable control, including but not limited to acts of God, natural disasters (including hurricanes), government orders, public health emergencies, labor disputes, venue closures, or other unforeseen circumstances.

In the event the Conference is canceled, postponed, shortened, or converted to a virtual format due to such circumstances, the Coalition reserves the right to determine appropriate remedies, which may include issuing a credit toward a future event, partial refund, or other alternative arrangements.
