Registered delegate’s rights and privileges

The rights and privileges are granted personally to the registered delegate and cannot be shared with other individuals, nor can another delegate be substituted after the start of the conference. Delegates may substitute another person from their organization to attend in their place up to 24 hours before the start of the conference.  To substitute a new named delegate for a registered delegate, please send FCM an email to request a substitution. If a registered delegate is unable to find a substitute to take his or her place, the cancellation policy applies.

Payments

Registration fees must be paid in full by credit card (VISA, MasterCard or American Express) at the time of registration.

Carbon offset fees

In keeping with FCM’s efforts to reduce the environmental impact of its events, all registrations automatically include an optional carbon offset fee to offset greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from air travel to the conference. The fee is calculated based on a return flight from the most populous city in your province to Fredericton. 100% of this fee will be paid to Carbonzero and invested in a Canadian project that permanently retires GHG emissions. The fee is optional and should you wish to opt out, simply remove the check mark from your selections during the registration process. You will also be able to remove it by editing your selections before completing the payment.

Registration confirmation

An email confirmation will be sent once registration has been completed and fully paid online. From your attendee profile, you will be able to register a companion and print a copy of your registration invoice.

If you need to cancel your registration for the Conference, you must do so in writing by sending us an email. Cancellation requests will NOT be accepted by any other means. Cancellation fees will be applied to conference registration, passes and add-ons.
