Yes No Not sure

Will your company reduce the education funds available for your registration next year? Or, if you pay yourself, do you intend to reduce that spending?

Yes No Possibly

How likely are you to attend the event?

How many weeks in advance would you register and book a hotel, knowing the closer to the event you cancel, the smaller the refund?
