Cancellations and/or Changes by Event Organizer

CitiesAlive® is presented by Green Roofs for Healthy Cities - North America (GRHC). In the unlikely event that CitiesAlive is forced to change the location of the conference, every effort will be made to give delegates as much advance notice as possible. If a delegate is unable to attend the conference at the new location, GRHC will refund 100% of any prepaid conference fee upon written request. However, GRHC, or any other partners or sponsors will not be liable for any other costs incurred including (for example) travel charges or any consequential damages.

Alterations to the Conference Program

Information provided to CitiesAlive through the event registration form (via Cvent.com) may be used to contact attendees with information about the event when necessary. The information is published in the event “delegate list” that is circulated to event sponsors and exhibitors and is added to the CitiesAlive database in order to send you notices, from time to time, describing other association events. You may choose to opt out of being listed on the “delegate list” and/or the CitiesAlive database during the online registration process.

Right to Refuse Admission

CitiesAlive reserves the right to refuse admission, by refunding the fee, or, a proportionate amount if admission is refused partway through the Conference.

Visa Assistance for International Attendees

Visa application assistance is not provided to attendees. If you have inquiries regarding a Canadian visa application, please visit the Canada Visitor Visa website (www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/visit-canada/apply-visitor-visa.html) for information. Registered CitiesAlive attendees are welcome to use the registration confirmation email as a supporting document for a Canadian visa application.
