Registration Cancellation & Refunds

I have an APAIE conference registration but I am not sure whether I can attend APAIE 2022. What is the registration cancellation & refund policy?
Registration cancellations received in writing to the APAIE 2022 Professional Conference Organizers at apaie2022-registration@icsevents.com by February 18, 2022 will be accepted and all fees refunded, less a $100 USD administrative fee. Cancellations received after February 18, 2022 will not be refunded; however, transfer of your registration to another person is permitted.
