Walk-in Registrations: Walk-ins are welcome for the Symposium but reservations are recommended to ensure your seat and materials. All QFD Belt Courses require pre-registration due to limited class sizes. Full payment is due before the start of all programs.

QFD Belt course registrations received within 48 hours before the start of the course may be subject to a 20% late surcharge to cover extra costs in material preparation. All deadlines are by U.S. Eastern Time.

Cancellations after Registration & Substitutions:  Full refund or credit will be given when cancellation is notified by a pre-paid attendee by 5:00 pm September 5, 2008.  No refund will be made after that. However, substitutions are permitted without penalty, provided they meet the prerequisites. All deadlines are by U.S. Eastern Time.

Corporate or School-issued Email / Overseas P.O. Box Address: All registrations must accompany your corporate email address issued by your employer or a school-issued email address if you are a student or faculty, due to new security requirements by credit card banks.
