Can I apply my registration fee from the 2020 CGA Excavation Safety Conference & Expo to the 2021 CGA Conference & Expo?
The 2020 Excavation Safety Conference & Expo was produced by a third-party contractor, Infrastructure Resources (IR). CGA has severed all agreements with IR effective March 26, 2020. IR did not offer a refund and consequently kept all fees. It is important that you understand your registration funds (and IR’s processing fee) are being applied to IR’s Global Excavation Safety Conference, and not being applied to the 2021 CGA Conference & Expo.
To offset this financial hardship, CGA is offering a $200.00 Full Conference Attendee Registration discount to last year’s registrants towards the 2021 CGA Conference & Expo. To receive your unique discount code, please complete the form.
Make sure to add CGARegistration@CompleteReg.com to your safe list.
