COVID-19 Cancellation Policies

If you are unable to attend a conference due to a government restriction that prevents you from attending, you are eligible for a full refund. For example, if you live in Canada and, at the time of the conference, non-essential travel to the United States is banned, you would be eligibile for a full refund.

If you are legally able to attend a conference and decide to cancel due to COVID-19, our normal refund policies with cancellation fees would apply.  However, you can choose to rollover your registration fee to a future Learning & the Brain conference without any penalties.  This rollover option only applies to conferences, not summer institutes.

For our hybrid events, you can switch between virtual participation or in-person participation at any time.  All participants, regardless of whether they are participating virtually or in-person will have access to the recordings of the conference for up to 45 days after the conference.

If Learning & the Brain is forced to cancel a conference due to COVID-19 legal restrictions, you will also be eligible for a full refund.

ERI reserves the right, without having to refund any monies to participants, to make changes in the conference, its program, schedule, location, and/or faculty should ERI, in its sole discretion, deem any such changes necessary or advisable. Similarly, ERI further reserves the right to cancel any sessions, events, workshops, or the conference, entirely, in which case ERI's liability to participants shall be strictly limited to a refund of those fees.
