We cannot move you to another class after March 14; however, you may ADD a class. Please read the Training CLASS CHANGE REQUEST policy below.

All individuals on the conference floor must have a badge visible on their person at all times. Lost, misplaced, stolen or forgotten badges will incur a replacement fee equal to the original purchase amount of your pass. If your badge was complimentary, the fee will be the current, late rate.

Training CLASS CANCELLATIONS BY BLACK HAT

If Black Hat is forced to close a Training class, you have the following options:

Receive a full refund if you choose to cancel your Training – you will not be assessed an administrative fee.
Move to another class if there is space in the class. You should complete the form that was sent to you via email and return it as directed on the form.
Please note that if the newly selected course is more expensive then you must pay the difference. If the newly selected course is less expensive, you will be given a refund for the difference in the original payment instrument.

Training CLASS CHANGE REQUEST:

If you wish to change classes, you must submit the Black Hat Registration Update Form by March 14, 2014. You will be billed the difference in the class cost. All outstanding fees must be paid in full by March 14, 2014.

If you are owed a refund for the difference of the class cost, you will be sent a refund via the same method of payment.
Class change requests will not be accepted after March 14, 2014.
All trainers are paid per student registered for the class and it would be unfair to the trainers to change their expected enrollment once we have guaranteed them a certain number of students.

You are registered only for the Training class you selected. In order to change classes, you must complete the Black Hat Registration Update Form no later than March 14, 2014 space pending. After this date, we cannot change your Training class unless it has been cancelled.

Please Email your request to: blackhatregistration@ubm.com. Class space for the Training is extremely limited and we have sold out in years past so there is no guarantee that space will be available in the class you are requesting.

Training CLASS RESERVATIONS:

All Training course seats are first come, first paid. The only way to hold a seat in a Training course is to be paid in full at the time of your registration. Black Hat reserves the right to cancel your unpaid registration without notification in order to guarantee the seat to another delegate.
