FAQs

Registration

• Registrations will only be accepted and processed when payment, or an approved government purchase order, is included. 
• Registrations, or changes to registrations, will not be accepted over the phone as this does not provide an accurate record of the request. 
• To register by mail, submit this form and send payment to: 
  IEDC, 1275 K St NW Suite 300, Washington, DC 20005. Fax form and copy of purchase order to: (202) 223-4745
  
• Online registration closes on February 20, 2026, 11:59 PM. On-site registration will be available.

Payment Policy

• All payments sent to the IEDC office must be received by February 20, 2026, or registrants will be required to resolve unpaid balances onsite (excluding those with government purchase orders). 
• Conference attendees with a balance due will be required to remit payment before being admitted to the conference, with the exception of those attendees paying by government purchase order. 
• If a copy of your purchase order was not forwarded to IEDC, please present it at the onsite registration desk. 

Cancellation, Refunds, Substitutions and No-Show Policy 

• There will be no refunds or credits for cancellations after February 20, 2026.  
• All cancellation requests must be in writing and can be emailed or sent to Cherrika Gordon at cgordon@iedc.org.
• All registered attendees canceling their registration will be charged a $130 processing fee, regardless of when the written cancellation notice was received.  
• Cancellation requests received by IEDC prior to the close of business on February 20, 2026 will have their registration fees refunded or credited to a future IEDC event, less the $130 processing fee.
• Replacement of a registered IEDC attendee by a business colleague will be accepted. If the original registrant was registered as a IEDC member, the new registrant must also be a member or become a member upon registering.  
• A registrant who does not submit a written cancellation, or attend the conference, is considered a “No Show.” No-Shows are not eligible for refunds or credits, and are still liable for outstanding balances.
