I need a visa to attend this programme. Can you help with that?
EO members are responsible for arranging their travel on time for attendance at EO events—including, but not limited to, all immigration- and visa-related costs and paperwork. If you fail to receive the appropriate approvals to enter a country in which you have purchased a registration, you will be subject to EO cancellation policies.
EO takes no responsibility for acquiring or monitoring the status of a visa for any member. EO can support you in your quest for immigration approval by providing:
- Letters of invitation
- Connections to the chapter members via the chapter administrator
EO cannot:
- Sponsor members
- Guarantee costs or other monetary-related paperwork
- Liaise with ministries, immigration, embassies, or consulates on behalf of any member.
If you require sponsorship for entry into a country, you assume all risks associated with registering for the event before getting approval and finding sponsors. EO cancellation policies apply. EO members are required to find other EO member sponsors on their own, including using eonetwork.org or through the EO chapter hosting the event. EO staff will not broker sponsorships.
What is the dress code?
Business or smart casual. Look sharp!
What is included in the registration fee?
All training sessions and materials and expert coaching for five (5) days with lunches and coffee breaks on all days, and dinner with cocktails on Day 1.
What is not included in the registration fee?
Air & ground transportation, lodging, breakfast, dinners on Days 2-4, and personal incidentals. You are responsible for the room rate, associated taxes, and fees, and you are subject to the terms and conditions of the venue’s regular pricing and cancellation policy. Any difference in cost associated with room upgrades (double or triple occupancy, suite, or other room types) is also c/o the participant.
Are there any exceptions to the cancellation policy?
Exceptions to the cancellation policy are only granted in the case of a death in the immediate family (spouse or partner, children, parents, siblings) or for an emergency medical situation involving the member, spouse or partner, or legal dependent. The member must provide written documentation from a doctor certifying that the member has a medical emergency that bars travel. All exceptions are subject to review by the Executive Education team and will have to be approved before the release of refunds less than the US$2,000 application deposit and the USD$100 non-refundable processing fee per person. No exceptions will be made for other personal or business reasons. All written documentation and supporting documents must be received by 1 week after the event referenced to be considered for a refund.
Can I use my Global Event Voucher?
Members who joined EO on or after July 2018 are eligible for the Global Event Voucher for GSA. To apply the Global Event Voucher to your registration fees, check “Yes” during registration. The voucher amount will automatically be deducted from your balance.
What happens if the event gets canceled due to COVID or other circumstances?
We’ll continue to monitor safety and reserve the right to cancel for health-related concerns. Members’ safety is our priority, but if the event gets canceled due to COVID or other circumstances, the registration fee will be reimbursed (please note EO is not responsible for fees and/or charges paid by event attendees to airlines or any other third party; we suggest to choose/make it a refundable fee by the company when booking)
I was selected but I am not able to attend due to an emergency, will I get a refund?
If you were selected and are not able to attend, we will do refunds on the registration fee within three weeks from your registration date. Please note that EO is not responsible for fees and/or charges paid by event participants to airlines or any other third party. Please review payment and cancellation details here.
