Expo badges will only be mailed to registrants who reside in California, provided that the registration is received on or prior to February 13, 2006. Badges for those who pre-register after February 13, 2006, whether conference or expo passes or for Expo registrants who resided outside of California, will need to collect their badges on-site at the SD West Registration counter. Q: I registered for SD West 2006 on-line. How do I get a receipt and confirmation? A: If you registered and paid on-line, the final page of the registration process is your receipt and confirmation. Please make certain to make a copy of your receipt for expense purposes as well as any follow-up with the SD West Registration Department. If you printed an order form and submitted it with your check payment, we will mail you a confirmation and receipt, once your registration is received and processed. Online registration without payment does NOT secure the early registration discount. Registrations completed (paid) and checks received ON or AFTER the Early Bird discount deadline (February 17, 2006) must be paid at the full, undiscounted pass price. Q: I registered and now need to make changes to my registration, how can I do this? A: Upgrades: Upgrade pass requests must be submitted in writing and faxed to (415) 947-6020 along with payment information for the difference in value. Upgraded passes will be charged the difference in registration fees at the time that the request is submitted - no retroactive reduced registration fee is permitted. Downgrades: Written requests for a downgraded pass must be received no later than February 6, 2006 for a full refund on the difference of registration fees between the value of the original and downgraded pass. Requests received after February 6, 2006 cannot be accommodated. Cancellations: If you need to cancel, you may do so for a full refund, less a $100 service charge, until February 6, 2006. Registrants who register prior to or after the deadline date who do not cancel in writing by the deadline date are liable will be charged for the full registration fee. Sorry, no cancellations request can be processed after this date. Please fax your cancellation request to (415) 947-6020, or mail your request to: Substitutions: Substitutions are allowed only with the written permission of the original registrant.
