Your postmark will be the ultimate determinant of your registration rates. We aim to post an online program in mid-February. Schedule change requests disrupt the plans of those already registered. HERA will not process changes to the program. You must submit your fees to HERA by January 19, 2018 or your name will be deleted from all versions of the program.

All presenters must be members of HERA.

Refunds: Requests for refunds must be made in writing and postmarked no later than January 26, 2018. Email requests for refunds to mgreen@sfsu.edu. A $50 service fee is deducted from all refunds. There will be no refunds for any reason after January 26, 2018. HERA is not responsible for any cancellations or other charges assessed by airlines, travel agents, online booking agencies, or other institutions.
