Registration Policy

Food and Dietary Requests

ATD-LA volunteers do not have access to kitchens or food services. The ATD-LA office will hand off your request to the catering manager. Therefore, you must make requests to the catering manager or designate on your registration form where offered.  The catering team will use reasonable efforts to accommodate your request through the preparation and handling processes.

However, it is ultimately up to the you to use individual discretion to make an informed choice regarding whether to consume any particular items or its substitution. Should you need to address any further dietary concerns, please meet with the catering liaison. 

ATD-LA negotiates a group volume rate per person for larger catered events and most events held at hotels. Hotels typically require a minimum headcount. If you come an event that included a meal (food and/or beverage) that you didn't consume, we are unable to prorate or refund your registration. Some special dietary requests may result in an additonal fee by the vendor and will be passed-on to the requestor.

All Meetings, Conferences and Events “No Show” Policy

If you registered and neither cancelled or didn’t attended the event, you will remain charged (debited or invoiced) for the total value of the order. No future classroom credit will be given, nor will you be provided a copy of the class materials. 

Chapter Meetings Walk In Registration Policy

We welcome our members and non-members to join our events and meetings when possible. We know that your schedule can change so we do our best to accommodate walk-ins. However, some events and meetings will only provide materials to those that have registered in advance. We cannot guarantee that walk-ins will be able to receive the same materials at the event or afterward, unless posted. Your admission rate will not decrease because you did not receive materials. Please register online before attending events so that vendors will prepare for your attendance. You can use self-service methods to register before the event or by the registration deadline date.
