Registration Fees and Refunds
All MTJA members and spouses/guests who attend a conference pay a registration fee. The host DMO sets and handles the costs of holding the conference. Fees usually range from $100 $200 for Actives; from $150-$250 for Associates; and from $250-$300 for spouses/guests.
- Note: Conference attendance by MTJA members' spouses/guests is solely at the discretion of the host DMO. Spouses/guests always pay a higher registration fee than Actives or Associates.
- Note: Members and spouses/guests who cancel their paid registration no later than 30 days before the starting date of the core conference (excluding pre-conference tours), shall receive a full refund.
- Those who cancel their registrations from 15 to 29 days before the core conference begins, shall receive a 50 percent refund.
- Those who cancel from 7 to 14 days before the core conference begins, shall receive a 25 percent refund.
- Those who cancel less than 7 days before the core conference begins shall receive no refund. A refund exception because of illness or other grave circumstance will be decided on a case-by- case basis by MTJA and the DMO.
MTJA incurs organizational and promotional expenses before, during and after the conference, so the DMO shall remit 25 percent of the collected registration fees (minus refunds) to MTJA within 30 days after the conference end date. For example: If registration fees total $1,000, the remittance to MTJA would be $250 ($1,000 x 25 percent = $250).
If the DMO prefers, MTJA will handle registration and collect registration fees, but then MTJA shall retain 30 percent of the collected total (minus refunds) and payment to the DMO will be made within 30 days after the conference ends. For example, if registration fees total $1,000, MTJA will keep $300 ($1,000 x 30 percent = $300) and payment to the DMO would be $700.
