Event Cancellation or Changes by ATTA
The Adventure Travel Trade Association (ATTA) reserves the right to cancel, postpone, or reschedule in its sole discretion an event, whether in-person or virtual, due to low registrations. If ATTA voluntarily cancels an event due to low registrations, delegates will be offered a full or partial refund. If ATTA postpones or reschedules an event due to low registrations, ATTA in its sole discretion will 1) provide an account credit, or 2) transfer registration to the same or similar event at a future date. Note that this cancellation and refund policy does not apply to cancellation due to Force Majeure.
ATTA also has the right to postpone, suspend, cancel, or reschedule an event, whether in-person or virtual, at any time, in its sole discretion in the event of Force Majeure and 1) provide an account credit, or 2) transfer registration to the same or similar event at a future date. No refunds, whether partial or full, will be made if ATTA postpones, suspends, cancels or reschedules an event because of Force Majeure.
Cancellation by Delegate Policy:
Your confirmed reservation may be canceled without penalty if requested via the official cancellation request form 121 days or more before the first day of an In-Person Event provided that there is not a volume of similar refund requests that would make it financially detrimental for ATTA to provide refunds as ATTA determines in its sole discretion.
If the cancellation is requested via our form within 120 days of the event, an account credit will be given for the original amount paid minus a cancellation fee ($450 for ATWS, $250 for AdventureELEVATE and $150 for all other events). Account credits will be available for future purchases with the ATTA.
For protection from unforeseeable events such as personal or family illness (including covid), injury or other important situation that may keep you from attending the event, please consider purchasing Event Cancellation Insurance, which will allow you to cancel and receive a refund of the total amount paid minus the cost of the insurance in the original form of payment up to the day of the event. You also have the option of leaving the refund as account credit. Account credits will be available for future purchases with the ATTA. The Event Cancellation Insurance is 10% of your total purchase (includes registration, marketplace table, or other special event purchases) and it is available as an add-on at the time of the event registration purchase. Cancellation requests must be submitted via our official cancellation request form
Co-Worker Transfer Policy:
Your confirmed reservation may be transferred to another coworker without penalty if requested via the official Transfer request form 61 days or more before the first day of an In-Person Event.
If the transfer is requested via our form within 60 days of the event, ATTA will charge a co-worker transfer fee ($225 for ATWS, $125 for AdventureELEVATE and $75 for all other events). Transfer will be complete and confirmed once payment has been received.
For protection from unforeseeable events such as personal or family illness (including covid), injury or other important situation that may keep you from attending the event, please consider purchasing Event Cancellation Insurance, which will allow you to make a one-time registration transfer to a coworker without penalty within 60 days of the event. The Event Cancellation Insurance is 10% of your total purchase (includes registration, marketplace table, or other special event purchases) and it is available as an add-on at the time of the event registration purchase. Transfers requests must be submitted via our official Transfer request form.
Virtual Event Cancellation/Refund by Delegate:
Cancellation/Refund Request by Delegate Policy -- at least 24 hours before event start time: You may cancel your registration up to 24 hours before the virtual event begins and request a full refund of your virtual event registration fee by emailing [email protected].
Cancellation/Refund Request by Delegate Policy -- within 24 hours before event start time: We are unable to provide refunds within 24 hours of the event start time.

Please watch for a post-event email with information on how to access available event recordings.
Co-Worker Transfer Policy: We are unable to provide registration transfers for virtual events. We can provide a refund, per the policies noted above, and then your co-worker may register on their own.
