Registration can not be transferred from one conference to another under any other circumstances.

INFORMATION ABOUT FEE TRANSFER: If the registration fee for the new conference you are registering for is higher than the registration fee for the original conference, the remaining balance must be paid before the fees can be transferred to a new conference. There will be no refunds if the registration fee for the original conference is less than the fee for the new conference you want to transfer your registration fee to:
