Or you may call Mfactor, our conference planning partners, directly at +1 650-637-7731.

Payment Policy

Your registration is not complete until full payment is received. If your company requires an invoice, please use either the printable invoice or the e-mail confirmation you will receive following online registration. Both will include the dates, the events you have registered for, and the conference fee. The Nielsen Norman Group has contracted MFactor Meetings, a conference-management firm, to handle all billing and customer service for our Toronto event.

Cancellation, Substitution, and Refund Policy

If you must cancel after registering, your registration fee will be refunded less a 20% handling fee, provided that written notice of cancellation is received by May 3, 2013. After that, the refund is 50%. No refunds will be granted after May 17, 2013, but we will accept a substitute attendee if we receive a written note from the registered attendee stating his or her intention to transfer registration to a named individual. Email usabilityweek@nngroup.com with cancellation, substitution, or refund requests. All funds are collected in US Dollars. When requesting a refund due to a cancellation please note that fluctuations in the currency exchange rate will affect your refund amount.

Speaker Substitutions and Course Cancellations

We reserve the right to substitute speakers, cancel seminars, or cancel the entire event. In such cases, our liability is limited to refunding the registration fees you have paid for the affected days. Speakers may need to be substituted in case of illness, accidents, airline problems, or other issues that prevent a scheduled speaker from presenting as planned. We will endeavor to get a substitute speaker, but this may not always be possible because of the expertise required and the short notice available in most such cases.
