What is your refund policy?
If you registered for BuildingEnergy Boston prior to March 17, 2020, your ticket will automatically be converted into a ticket for the digital event. If this works for you, you don’t need to take any action at this time.

We recognize that your financial situation may have changed since you purchased your ticket or that you may not be able to attend the virtual conference on the new dates. Additionally, the ticket price to attend the new event will likely be less than what you originally paid for your ticket. We are offering full and partial (the difference between the new price and the price you paid) refunds and credits by Wednesday, June 10.

If it is easily within your means to decline a full or partial refund, we ask that you consider doing so as a way of showing your continued support of NESEA’s work. Please fill out this form to request changes to your registration by June 10 (you must log in to your NESEA account to access this form).

We are unable to offer refunds for tickets purchased after March 17, 2020.
