The Fine Print

Attire

Unless otherwise noted on a conference brochure, the appropriate attire for any Financial Research Associates’ event is "business dress."

Payment must be received before the meeting. If you register within seven (7) business days before a conference begins, we must have direct payment via credit card.

Substitutions/Cancellations

  • Substitute registrants from the same organization will be honored.
  • All cancellation and refund requests must be submitted to Financial Research Associates in writing via mail, fax to 704-341-2640, or e-mail lboothe@frallc.com

  • No refunds or credits will be granted for cancellations received after a conference begins or for no-shows.

Conference Cancellations

We strive to hold all conferences as scheduled. However, due to unforeseen market circumstances, Acts of God, or other circumstances beyond our control, we reserve the right to cancel or reschedule any event 21 days or more prior to its start date. We will notify all registered attendees as soon as a conference has been canceled via e-mail or fax and will, in the case of a cancelled event, process full refunds for paid registrations. We advise attendees not to make final travel arrangements more than 30 days prior to the scheduled start date of the event. FRA, LLC is not liable for any travel-related or other expenses incurred by delegates in the case of a cancelled conference.

All Inclusive Cancellations

All-inclusive conference registrations can be cancelled 30 days or more in advance of the event, less a $595 cancellation fee. If you cancel your all-inclusive conference registration 30 days or less before the event, you can expect to receive a voucher less a $695 cancellation fee.

Webinar Cancellations

For individual webinar registrations if you cancel 14 days or more in advance of the webinar, you can expect a full refund less a $75 service charge. If you cancel 13 days or less prior to the webinar, you will receive a voucher for the registration fee (less a $75 service charge) which can be applied towards a FRA event within the calendar year.

If you cancel a site license webinar registration 14 days or more in advance of the webinar, you can expect a full refund less a $250 service charge. If you cancel 13 days or less prior to the webinar, you will receive a voucher for the registration fee (less a $250 service charge) which can be applied towards a FRA event within the calendar year.

Inclement Weather

Financial Research Associates will not cancel a conference due to inclement weather. We will issue credit vouchers to those registrants who notify us of their verifiable weather-related travel cancellation.

Speaker Documentation

Complete population of our conference documentation is a priority at Financial Research Associates. We make every effort possible to secure in advance copies of speakers’ presentations. From time to time our speaking faculty is unable to submit these in advance of the conference. We urge conference delegates to reach out to speakers who are unable to submit advance documentation and are happy to provide contact details to do so.

Conference Discounts

The only permanent discount structure FRA offers is a Group Discount. The Group Discount Schedule is as follows. Group discounts cannot be issued retroactively and all groups must register at one time and pay in advance of the conference in order to secure the discount. If any delegates in a discounted group cancel their registrations, the discount will be void or revert to a lesser discount if the remaining group of attendees is large enough to qualify for a discount. Group discounts are not available online.

Discounts are only issued at the time of registration and amounts will not be changed retroactively.

Failure to mention the appropriate discount code when registering will forfeit the group discount.

  • Three Delegates will receive a 10% discount
  • Four Delegates will receive a 15% discount
  • Five Delegates or More will receive a 20% discount
  • Registrants applying a credit voucher from a previous conference do not count toward a group registration when calculating a group's discount.

Group discounts can only be issued through the group sales department. They are not available via website or through the #800 registration line. In order to secure a group discount, all delegates must place their registrations at the same time. Group discounts cannot be issued retroactively.

If you have any further questions on group discounts please call our Business Development Office at 704-341-2442.
