conference/convention registration desk. Only the registered attendee may pick up their registration packet.
What if I lose my badge?
Please understand that we cannot be responsible for lost/misplaced
badges. There will be no refund or replacement of a lost
badge.
What is the cancellation/refund policy?
Cancellations made 30 days or more from the event start date will receive a 70% refund. Cancellations made within 30 days of the event start date are ineligible for a refund. Due to deadlines that are out of the control of the ACF, there will be no exceptions made. Individuals may roll the cancellation amount, 30% or 100% of the registration fee, over to another ACF product (i.e., membership, certification or an event). If utilizing the rollover amount for an event, we will allow for a one-time rollover and you must register within 12 months of the event. The refund must be requested in writing and be sent to events@acfchefs.org.
ACF reserves the right to modify this policy.
