Event Policies

Payment for events may be made by credit or debit card. Contact us if you would like ACH.

The cancellation deadline for events is two weeks prior to the beginning of an event. Before that date, refunds will be given less a $50 processing fee. After that date, no refunds will be given but replacement registrants are welcomed. Cancellations and replacement registrants should be submitted in writing to Lisa Flowers at lisaflowers@misbo.com.

If for any reason MISBO needs to cancel an event, or changes its format (example - live to virtual) and you elect not to attend, the following refund policy will apply.

Attendee will have the option to receive:

• An 80% refund of registration fees, OR
• A 100% credit toward a MISBO event within the next 12 months, up to the amount paid. Credit is transferable to anyone else in the attendee's school.

No refunds shall be made for travel expenses related to the conference. Attendees who purchase non-refundable airline tickets do so at their own risk.

Registrations from someone employed outside of a school will only be accepted at MISBO’s discretion. Contact the Director of Professional Development with any questions or concerns.

Participation in MISBO events signifies an attendee’s acknowledgment of infectious and other diseases and voluntary assumption of the risk of exposure or infection by attending the event. Attendees agree to comply with all guidelines and procedures, including distancing and/or masking, that may be implemented by MISBO, in accordance with recommendations from the CDC and other public health authorities.

Consent to Use of Photographic Images, Audio, and Video

Registration, attendance at, or participation in MISBO meetings and other activities constitutes an agreement by the registrant to MISBO's use and distribution (both now and in the future) of the registrant or attendee’s image or voice in photographs, videos, electronic reproductions, and audio of such events and activities.

Participants expressly acknowledge the intellectual property of the presenters of conferences and events and these other terms that are conditions of attendance. This acknowledgment includes the understanding that creating any form of recording, including but not limited to video or audio is a violation of the intellectual property of the speakers as well as a violation of the terms of participation in this event. Participants expressly agree not to independently record, or knowingly let anyone else record, any of the conference sessions in which they participate. Participants will also not share their unique link to the conference platform or the content therein with anyone else. The unique link to the conference platform will be used solely by the participant.

MISBO is committed to hosting inclusive, respectful, and harassment-free events that support professional growth and the open exchange of ideas in a diverse, welcoming community. All participants are expected to be present, engaged, and respectful; use inclusive, thoughtful language; follow professional standards and laws; and report unsafe or inappropriate situations to MISBO staff. Unacceptable behavior includes discrimination, harassment, or demeaning conduct; unwanted physical or sexual attention; session disruption or intimidation; possession of weapons or illegal items; and any illegal or clearly inappropriate acts. To report an issue or concern, contact a MISBO staff member.

MISBO reserves the right to take action, including removal without refund, in response to any violation of this Code of Conduct.
