St. Louis Apartment Association Event Cancellation Policy
We understand that plans can change; however, due to the commitments
we must make with vendors and venues, the following cancellation and no-
show policies apply to all of our events:
1. Cancellation After Deadline:
The deadline to register for events is 10 days prior to the event date,
unless otherwise noted. Cancellations made after the registration
deadline will not be eligible for a refund. Once the deadline has
passed, we are unable to accommodate refunds or event credits, as
event logistics will have already been finalized.
2. No-Show Policy:
If a registered participant does not attend the event ("no-show"), they
will still be responsible for the full cost of the event. No-shows will be
invoiced for the full amount of their registration, as their space has
been reserved and event expenses incurred.
3. Events Including Meals:
For events where meals are provided, registrants who cancel after
the deadline or do not attend will still be charged the full ticket price,
including the cost of the meal. This ensures that costs associated
with pre-ordered meals are covered.
