A. Registration Process and Payment Methods

Pricing for Travel Blog Exchange (TBEX) passes are tiered to provide several discount opportunities for purchasing early. Payments must be received before the corresponding deadlines to qualify for discount rates. If payment has not been received by midnight PST of the deadline date, registrants will be charged the next tier pricing. This applies to registrants submitting checks, and credit card payments that are denied.

Discount Codes are assigned by TBEX. TBEX reserves the right to cancel any registrants using unauthorized discount codes.

Conference registrations will not be confirmed until the completed form and the correct payment is received and processed by TBEX.

Registrants should obtain confirmation before committing to other travel arrangements.

TBEX cannot be responsible for your spam filters blocking your confirmation email. Please be sure your spam filters will allow mail from tbexcon.com.

Your conference registration fee DOES NOT INCLUDE HOTEL ACCOMMODATION costs. Attendees are responsible for making their own lodging arrangements. You can save significantly on your hotel rates by reserving a room at one of our official hotel partners.
