The rate will be valid between August 3, 2013 and August 11, 2013, and is subject to availability. We recommend that you register as early as possible.

Payment Policy

Your registration is not complete until full payment is received. If your company requires an invoice, please use either the printable invoice or the e-mail confirmation you will receive following online registration. Both will include the dates, the events you have registered for, and the conference fee. The Nielsen Norman Group has contracted ID Meetings Australia, a conference-management firm, to handle all billing and customer service for our Melbourne event.

Cancellation, Substitution, and Refund Policy

If you must cancel after registering, your registration fee will be refunded less a 20% handling fee, provided that written notice of cancellation is received by July 5, 2013. After that, the refund is 50%. No refunds will be granted after July 19, 2013, but we will accept a substitute attendee if we receive a written note from the registered attendee stating his or her intention to transfer registration to a named individual. Email usabilityweek-au@nngroup.com with cancellation, substitution, or refund requests.

Speaker Substitutions and Course Cancellations

We reserve the right to substitute speakers, cancel seminars, or cancel the entire event. In such cases, our liability is limited to refunding the registration fees you have paid for the affected days. Speakers may need to be substituted in case of illness, accidents, airline problems, or other issues that prevent a scheduled speaker from presenting as planned. We will endeavor to get a substitute speaker, but this may not always be possible because of the expertise required and the short notice available in most such cases.
