SUBSTITUTIONS AND CANCELLATIONS

 

 

Substitutions are permissible up to seven days before the conference, but you must notify PIRI in writing by fax or mail. Cancellations must be requested no later than November 7, 2014. No cancellations can be accepted after November 7, 2014. Because cancellations incur substantial administrative costs, we regret that it is necessary to charge a cancellation fee of $50 per person through September 30, 2013, or $150 per person if you cancel after September 30, 2014, but no later than November 7, 2014. Cancellations must be sent in writing to PIRI at: 35 Highland Circle, First Floor, Needham, MA 02494-3099 or faxed to PIRI at (781) 449-4024.
