Please note that all registrations for an event are space-permitting, on a first-come first-served basis. When you register through Eventbrite, each attendee will receive a user ID and password “Registrant Profile” to access your registration account on Eventbrite.com. Virtual Education Expo does not have access to this account. Attendees agree not to let any third-party to use their registrant profile to register for any of our events or gain access to any of same.

An attendee may register on behalf of more than one person provided that the person making such a registration has the authorisation required to do so. You agree to provide us with accurate and current information during the registration profile. Waiting lines to enter an event may be quite long. You can facilitate you admittance to an event by registering prior to the event, though doing so does not ensure that you will be admitted to the event quickly. We work hard to make admittance to each event a smooth process for everyone but, as the number of registrants customarily is large and only a certain number of people can be processed and/or admitted to an event at one time, you may have to wait a period of time before being admitted to an event. Virtual Education Expo reserves the right to expel a participant from further participation in an event should we, at our sole discretion, deem the participant’s behaviour inappropriate or offensive to other participants, or to our employees. No refund of a registration fee paid (if any) will be given to a participant who has been expelled from an event.
