The fee for transferring any APW to another attendee is $60.
Pre-Conference Policy
Due to high demand, no refunds are allowed once registered for a Pre-Conference, regardless of the reason. In addition, no refunds will be given to registrants who do not attend their scheduled workshop, regardless of the reason.
