Cancellation and Refund Policy for WODIL Conference and CeFIE-Hosted Events:

The terms and conditions below govern your registration for the WODIL Conference and CeFIE Canada hosted events.

The conference registration fee typically includes any meals provided, unless an additional fee is specified. If an additional fee is mentioned, there might not be an option to register on-site.

For payments made by cheque, the CeFIE Office must receive the payment within 10 working days from the submission date for the registration to be accepted and participation secured. Failure to comply will result in cancellation of the registration and the opening up of event bookings to other delegates. Those whose registrations are nullified after the early rate period will have to re-register at the regular conference rate.
  • Registration Fees: Fees are determined by the date of registration and the registrant’s membership status and type.
  • Registration Process: Registrations are accepted exclusively through the Wodil.ca and Diversityconference.ca registration systems.
