Pricing / Registration
This year’s AFP ICON registration will be Flexible. You can freely transfer your registration from in-person to virtual and vice versa at any time.
AFP ICON Customer Service is available to answer any questions you may have, and the AFP ICON policies page provides ample information about transfers and refunds.
Switching from in-person to virtual registration, or vice versa: This is premitted so long as you request a transfer by April 26, and you will be refunded or charged the difference in registration cost. The difference will be based on the registration rates at the time of original registration. For example, if you register for the in-person experience during the Early Bird Registration period and later, during the Regular Registration period, decide to switch to virtual, you will be refunded the difference between Early Bird in-person registration and Early Bird virtual registration.
