Event Disclaimers, Cancellation Policies & Hotel Discounts

Thank you for choosing CBA programming.  To support the association’s sound business practices, we have the following policies in place.

REGISTRATION BEST PRACTICES:

  • Use CBA’s Member Compass for individual user credentials to access member pricing.
  • Check program availability before registering; use the a la carte option if attending all sessions is uncertain.
  • For multi-session certification programs (i.e. CBLA), each registrant must attend all sessions in a calendar year to receive certification. Due to the nature of the certification process, no attendee substitutions are allowed.

PAYMENT:

  • Effective 8/9/2024, payment is due at registration—no invoices will be issued. This ensures better event management and resource allocation. 

CONFIRMATIONS:

  • Automated confirmations are sent upon registration; detailed instructions follow one week before the program. If not received, check your junk folder or contact education@cbaofga.com. 

 CANCELLATION POLICIES:

  • Employee substitutions are welcome.
  • Written cancellations received: 
    • 30+ days prior: 100% refund/credit.
    • 15–29 days prior: 50% refund/credit.
    • Less than 15 days: No refund/credit, but substitutions allowed.
  • A $50 fee applies for switching between in-person and virtual options. 

PRE-PAID PACKAGES & EARLY BIRD SPECIAL PRICING:
Banks who choose pre-paid packages & early bird special pricing, will understand the following:

  • Prepayment is required by the designated deadline.
  • No Program substitutions or cancellations. Employee substitutions are welcome.
  • Banks are responsible for registering for each program benefit. 

CONTINUING EDUCATION CREDITS:
Participants must complete at least 80% of the course to earn credits. Virtual attendees must submit CPE codes provided during the session.

VIRTUAL PROGRAMS - CBA'S LIVE STREAM:
One paid registration permits one participant and access to program resources. Additional participants require separate registrations. 

Thank you for adhering to these policies to help us deliver exceptional experiences. Note: Please note we reserve the right to change speakers, event dates and locations or reschedule/cancel seminars when necessary.


CONSENT TO USE PHOTOGRAPHIC IMAGES:
By registering for or attending CBA events, participants agree to allow CBA to use their image or voice in event-related media, including photographs, videos, and audio recordings. 

SUITCASING:
Suitcasing is the act of soliciting business during the exhibit networking times or in other public spaces by non-exhibiting companies, including another company's booth or a convention center/hotel lobby. It is CBA’s objective to do everything possible to protect our Exhibitors and community banker attendees from suitcasing.
