Please note: your registration is complete when payment is received in full. In the event of a conference selling-out, preference is given to registrations that are paid in full.
If you are required to make alternate payment, please follow the steps below to contact us. After filing your request, CASE will send you an invoice via email that you may use to submit your payment request for the conference.

Confirmations
Once your conference payment has been processed you will immediately receive an email confirmation receipt. If you have not received an electronic receipt two weeks prior to the conference start date, send a message to conferences@case.org to request a confirmation.
Sold Out Conferences
In the event that a conference is sold out, a waitlist will be provided for attendees who have not yet registered. Attendees must be paid in full to join the waitlist. At this time proforma registrants must be paid in full to hold their registration place. Please contact conferences@case.org to confirm your payment status.
- As places become available, attendees on the waitlist will be notified that their registration is confirmed via email.
- Attendees on the waitlist should NOT make any nonrefundable travel arrangements until their registration is confirmed.
- CASE is not responsible for any travel related costs or cancelation fees. Attendees on the waitlist will be notified if they are moved off the waitlist at least one week before the conference start date. If a waitlist attendee is not moved off the waitlist, they will receive a full refund for their registration payment.
Prior to your arrival
- Accommodation and Travel
Please always check the individual event page for specific accommodation and travel guidance.
For the majority of conferences CASE negotiates a special hotel rate for conference attendees; housing and travel is not included in your conference registration fees. You are responsible for making your own hotel and travel arrangements.
Please check the conference website for specific hotel information about each conference and make your reservations promptly to ensure room availability at the discounted rate. Occasionally, room blocks fill before the hotel deadline, although the hotel may have additional rooms at a higher rate. If the conference headquarters hotel is completely sold out, please plan for alternative lodging. - Dress code
Most conferences are business dress. Attendees will be notified where there are exceptions in pre-conference communication
For all CASE conferences, CASE looks to secure special rates with local hotels. Please check the conference website for specific information on hotels and travel advice.
