Cancellation and Transfer Policy*

General Attendees

All cancellations must be submitted in writing via our Conference Transfers and Cancellation Form.

Confirmed registrants may cancel and receive a full refund minus a $250 cancellation fee for general attendees through August 15, 2026. Cancellations received from August 16, 2026 through October 31, 2026 are nonrefundable but can be transferred to another SHRM conference or seminar. Cancellations on or after November 1, 2026 are nonrefundable and transfers are not permitted.

Transfer credits are offered as a one-time courtesy and are eligible for use exclusively at another SHRM conference or seminar. The selection of a replacement conference or seminar must be made within 6 months of the date the transfer credit is issued. The selected conference or seminar must occur within 12 months of the transfer credit issuance. The selected conference or seminar is final; no further transfer credits will be permitted.

If an attendee chooses to transfer their registration, they are responsible for paying any price difference (if applicable) to be collected at the time of the transfer. If the selected replacement is less expensive than the original event, the difference will be refunded to the original payment method, not to exceed 50% of the original purchase price.

Transfers from in-person to virtual for any conference or seminar are permitted as a courtesy. Transfers from virtual to in-person are permitted, subject to an additional fee to be collected at the time of transfer.

Attendees who do not attend the event and/or do not contact SHRM via written correspondence by the dates above will be responsible for the full attendee registration fee. If the conference or seminar is cancelled, SHRM is not responsible for any penalty incurred by purchasing a nonrefundable airline ticket or related costs.

For cancellations due to visa denials, please use our Conference Transfers and Cancellation Form or email globalteam@shrm.org.
