LinuxCon North America 2012 | Attendee FAQ

1. How can I retrieve a copy of my receipt for a Linux Foundation event?
A link will be on your confirmation email; in the email click on the section that reads "View Your Invoice". Next, under "Actions" you can select either: "Print Receipt" or "Email Receipt". If you do not have your confirmation email any longer, you can also access your registration details by logging in at the specific registration link to the event you paid with your email and password used to register: (this link takes you to all our events, click the event registration tab) http://events.linuxfoundation.org/events. Once you login and access your registration details, simply click on "Print Receipt" located under "Documents".

2. What is your cancellation policy?
If you must cancel for any reason please notify us via email at events AT linuxfoundation.org. Refunds will only be issued for cancellations received at least 3 weeks prior to the first day of the event and may take up to 14 days to process. Please note that all refunds are subject to a 3% processing fee.

3. May I substitute someone else, if I am unable to attend?
If you are unable to attend, you can substitute another attendee in lieu of cancellation this event.  To substitute an attendee, you may return to registration form, login in as 'Already Registered' and edit the registration with the new attendee's information.  Utilizing this feature will also allow you to re-issue yourself a receipt and/or confirmation should you need it.  For invitation-only events, substitutions are only granted on a case-by-case basis.
