I need to cancel, can I get a refund?
In line with Diageo's productivity agenda, we plan and negotiate all aspects of the event across accommodation, F&B, event space, and more based on the number of packages that each market has committed to. With this in mind, we are unable to offer refunds for cancellations once the commitment window has closed on May 28, 2024. Should you have any further questions, please contact WorldClassRegistration@experiencenve.com

The event is an industry event.
