Cancellation and Refunds

SOA incurs significant expenses prior to an event. To minimize losses, SOA maintains the following refund and cancellation policy:

  • You may cancel your registration prior to 30 days of the event start date to receive a full refund, less a $100 administrative fee.
  • There will be no refunds provided within 30 days of the event start date. However, you may transfer your registration to another SOA major meeting within one year of cancellation.
  • An alternate attendee within the same organization may be substituted at any time prior to the conference start with no penalty. However, if the original attendee is a member and the substitute attendee is not, the difference in rate, between member/non-member, must be paid in full at time of substitution.
  • You may transfer your registration to another meeting or seminar within one calendar year of the original meeting or seminar registered for. However, you will be responsible for any differences in rates and/or fees.
  • To cancel an order, please contact customerservice@soa.org.

The Society of Actuaries reserves the right to cancel any event if conditions warrant. In the event of such cancellation, registration fees will be refunded in full. The Society of Actuaries is not responsible for any airfare or hotel cancellation fees that an attendee may incur due to event cancellation.
