I’d like to become a member / what does APEX membership offer?
We are always happy to welcome new APEX members. Membership at APEX has many privileges. For further information on membership or to renew/join, please visit the Benefits of Membership page.
I only want to attend part of the Summit or attend one session. Can I simply register for that session only?
Registration is for the full event, regardless of which parts a participant chooses to attend.
I registered for the Summit, but now cannot take part due to work commitments. Can I have a refund?
The deadline to cancel a registration is April 19. There will be an administrative fee. After April 19, there will be no refunds offered. If you can’t make it to the event, you can still participate online instead. If you wish to cancel your participation, please contact APEX as soon as possible.
What is the deadline for registrations?
The last day to register to attend in-person is April 29. Should you wish to register after that date, your only option will be to attend online. Due to the logistical preparation required for in-person events (seating, meals, etc), we cannot accept in-person registrations after April 29.
The last day to register to attend online is May 9.
No registrations will be accepted after May 9.
