TBLI CONFERENCE™ Registration, Cancellation and Refunding Policy

This means passes cannot be shared or split. 
Kindly note TBLI CONFERENCE™ only accepts Credit Card payment.

Attendee and Speaker Registration and Discounts

Speakers are offered the possibility to register at a reduced fee, are automatically invited to side events and are able to invite two (2) invitees at NGO/Academia rate.
Attendees and Speakers will usually be able to book accommodation at a discounted Early Bird rate; after the Early Bird ends, discounted accommodation will usually be available on "first-come first-served" basis only.
TBLI CONFERENCE™ does not provide an honorarium or cover travel expenses to Speakers or Attendees from a commercial background, but may offer special discounts to Attendees with a  social entrepreneurial background.

Speaker registration is considered final as soon as the registration fee has been paid and/or Sponsorship fee has been received. 
In case of Sponsorship, Speaker registration may be part of the Sponsorship Package and any registration amount paid in advance will be refunded. 
Speakers are requested to provide a portrait photograph and short biography, as well as a (provisional) presentation title and short introduction for the website iin English as soon as possible. Registration must be completed at least three (3) weeks in advance of conference opening date. Failure to comply may result in exclusion from the conference program.

Speaker Cancellation and Refunding Policy

We are very greatful to Sponsors, however in the interest of quality and workshop moderation, Speakers will only be invited and presentations only accepted after consultation and in cooperation with the Conference Director: Sponsorship is never a prerequisite to be included in website and conference program as a Speaker; ESG expertise, tangible results and/or innovative vision remain our network's and a Speaker's main recommendations.
Fortunately we experience only a very low rate of cancellations. We expect Speakers and Attendees to be trustworthy, reliable and truthful. Organizing an event and thriving as a social entrepreneur otherwise becomes impossible and working on the basis of ESG and corporate governance principles nonsensical. Please be aware that, should you have registered as a Speaker, the later your cancellation notification is received, the more disruptive its impact on conference content, workshop moderation and organizational input will be.

Should you need to cancel your Attendee or Speaker registration, you must do this in English and in writing to TBLI Conference BV (email or postmark) and an automatic €100 administration fee will be charged. 
In addition, all Speaker and Attendee cancellations received less than four (4) weeks before the conference starting date will be liable for 25% of the registration fee; Speaker and Attendee cancellations received less than three (3) weeks before the conference starting date will be liable for 50% of the registration fee; Speaker and Attendee cancellations received less than one (1) week before the conference opening, as well as failure to attend, will be liable for 100% of the registration fee.

Sponsor Cancellation and Refunding Policy

Should you need to cancel your Sponsorship Agreement, you must do this in English and in writing to TBLI Conference BV (email or postmark) and we will be required to charge a 10% administration fee of the Sponsorship amount in addition to an automatic €100 administration fee.
In addition, all Sponsorship cancellations received less than four (4) months before the conference starting date will be liable for 25% of the Sponsorship fee; Sponsorship cancellations received less than three (3) months before the conference opening will be liable for 50% of the Sponsorship fee; Sponsorship cancellations received less than one (1) month before the conference opening will be liable for 100% of the Sponsorship fee.
