c) Once registration is live on our website, we are unable to accommodate additional facilitators.

e) All workshops require a minimum of 8 participants to run.

f) Registration will close one week prior to the conference. All workshop facilitators with fewer than 8 participants will be notified that their workshop is unable to run (and if applicable, will not be paid an agreed upon fee). In addition, all the participants in the cancelled workshops will be notified via email and given the option to register for an alternative session.

If the workshop is cancelled on too short notice, attendees will be notified at the event. In both circumstances, attendees will be given opportunity to register for an alternative session.
