What is the conference COVID policy?
At this time, we do not plan to require vaccination or testing for WCF 2023. However, this may change based on current conditions and CDC guidance. Should the policy change, we will update our website and notify all current registrants at the email address they used to register. You will have the opportunity to review the policy and opt for a refund (a deadline will be provided) at that time.
Where can I find the agenda and schedule?
What’s the cancellation policy?
Cancellations received via email to wcf@womeninconsumerfinance.com by November 17, 2023 will receive a full refund, less a $100 administration fee. Cancellations received via email between November 18-November 30, 2023 will receive a 50% refund. No refunds will be issued after November 30, 2023 (though you may substitute another attendee at any time for no fee).
What’s the dress code?
The entire event is casual. Not business casual. Actual casual. Really! Everyone should wear what makes them comfortable: jeans and a cute top/sweater/sweatshirt, yoga pants and sneakers, etc. I just wouldn't come in shorts, as hotels are typically chilly. How awesome is this? It's like vacation, but at a professional event!
