CAN I CANCEL MY REGISTRATION?

No. NJEPA is a not-for-profit, volunteer organization. We rely primarily on sponsorships and vendors to meet the expenses of running the conference. Registration fees go to offset only a small portion of the cost of bringing the conference to you. Registrations may be applied to other individuals attending however. If someone will be attending in your place, please email the registration committee at NJEPA@NJEPA.ORG and have the person attending in your place present your registration confirmation.
