Change or cancel your registration

Given the latest outbreak of covid-19 and the current restrictions, we recognise there are hesitation and caution around registering for live events. We understand that we are facing challenging times for making commitments far in advance. To ensure the value of your investment in our events, we are offering all delegates the below three options if you need to change or cancel your registration for any reason up to 7 days before the event.

Transfer the full value of registration to a colleague
Change to a credit note to attend any MCI Australia events in the future
Cancel your registration and receive a full refund

If we have no choice but to postpone the summit to 2022 due to covid restrictions and border closures, your registration will be automatically transferred to the new date. The above three options still apply if the new date doesn’t align with your plans. In the unlikely case that the event cancels, you will receive a full refund.

This policy will make sure you receive full value from your registration fee so you can book with confidence while benefit from the Early Bird savings.

Your health and safety are our upmost priority. MCI Australia is closely following advice and guidance in response to Covid outbreak issued by the Australian Government. We are incorporating protective measures in the planning and execution of all events and will be working closely with the venue to ensure all health and safety measures are in place.

We remain committed to delivering a live event and look forward to bringing you an engaging and interactive experience. We appreciate your support and understanding during this challenging times.
