A 75% refund of the Annual Meeting registration fees will be given for cancellations received on or prior to March 2, 2026. No refunds will be made after March 2, 2026. No refunds will be made to individuals who attend a portion of the Annual Meeting. The Annual Meeting organizers reserve the right to substitute faculty, or cancel or reschedule sessions (because of low enrollment or other circumstances). If the organizers must cancel the Annual Meeting in its entirety, SACME may refund the appropriate registration fees to all Annual Meeting registrants. Refunds in Case of Emergency If you are unable to attend the workshop(s) or the Annual Meeting based on serious illness or death (of self or a family member), a partial refund (amount paid minus a $55 processing charge) may be granted. Emergency refund requests must be made in writing to SACME Headquarters at the following address. All requests are reviewed to ensure compliance with policy. Society for Academic Continuing Medical Education 820 East High Street, Suite A Charlottesville, VA 22902 USA info@sacme.org   Substitution Policy If you are unable to attend workshops or the Annual Meeting, you are welcome to substitute a colleague in your place. There is no fee to make this change up to March 2, 2026. Substitutions after March 2, 2026 will incur a $55.00 processing fee. Failure to Attend Workshop Due to the limited amount of workshop spaces, if you register for a workshop and fail to attend, your credit card will be charged a no-show fee of $50.00. If you notify us by March 2, 2026 that you will not be able to attend a workshop for which you have registered the fee will be waived. Returned Check Policy Remittance must be made in U.S. Dollars to the Society for Academic Continuing Medical Education (SACME). A $25.00 surcharge may be assessed to cover any collection fees. Important Payment Note The registration form must be accompanied by your credit card information or check in full payment of all applicable fees. All non-U.S. registrants will be charged the U.S. Dollar equivalent at the time the charge is processed unless otherwise indicated. To qualify for early registration rates, complete registration including payment must be submitted online, faxed or postmarked no later than February 9, 2026. To qualify for regular registration rates, complete registration including payment must be submitted online, faxed or postmarked no later than March 2, 2026. Exhibitors Exhibitors are subject to the same refund and substitution policies above. However, exhibitors do not quality for refunds in case of emergency with the belief that an exhibiting organization can send another representative if the original representative is unable to attend.
