What is the cancellation policy and deadline?
Cancellation, Refund and Substitution Policy
Please submit all requests to the PSAI via email at info@psai.org. All registration cancellations and refund requests must be made in writing no less than twenty-one (21) days in advance to receive a full refund, less a 15% administrative fee. Refunds cannot be approved for requests received after that date or for no-shows. Substitutions are gladly accepted at any time. Badge sharing and registration splitting are strictly prohibited.
Event Cancellation or Postponement
The PSAI reserves the exclusive right to modify, postpone/reschedule, or cancel events for any reason, including but not limited to emergency, inclement weather, or other acts of God. If there is an event cancellation, every attempt will be made to reschedule, and registration fees will be applied to the rescheduled event date. Any travel, lodging, or incidental expenses incurred related to a cancelled event cannot be refunded under any circumstances. If a cancelled event cannot be rescheduled, the PSAI will determine an equitable basis for the refund of a portion or all registration fees, after due consideration of circumstances and expenditures. When you register for a PSAI event, you are expressly agreeing to this cancellation policy and accept that you will not receive a cash refund if the event is rescheduled.

Can children attend the EDGE Summit?
The PSAI welcomes attendance by the next generation of portable sanitation professionals. Our goal is to provide a great learning experience and, especially, to ensure their safety. To that end, the following requirements are in place for younger attendees:
- Youths 13-17 who wish to participate in educational sessions at PSAI events need a fully paid badge.
- Any child not in a stroller or carrier must have a badge and be under parental control at all times.
- For the enjoyment of everyone, parents should arrange childcare for their family members 12 and under rather than bringing them to educational sessions.
What is the dress code?
Business casual. Meeting rooms may be cool, so bring a sweater or light jacket.
