Cancellations

Sessions, tours, and jurors’ talks require a minimum number of participants to run. HGA reserves the right to cancel if there is insufficient registration. If we must cancel, HGA will issue a full refund for the canceled session, tour, or juror’s talk.

Cancellation requests for sessions, evening events (Fashion Show, Thread Talks, and Keynote), tours, and meals must be made by emailing HGA@WeaveSpinDye.org. Cancellation requests received:
• By January 30, 2026 - Receive a 75% refund
• By May 12, 2026 - Receive a 50% refund
• After May 12, 2026 - Non-refundable

CVPs are non-refundable and non-transferable. Day passes, exhibit entry fees, and jurors’ talks are non-refundable.

HGA recommends purchasing travel insurance and reviewing your policy to ensure adequate coverage. Standard trip cancellation policies typically cover non-refundable expenses for specific reasons, such as sudden illness or severe weather. In contrast, a Cancel for Any Reason (CFAR) benefit can reimburse a percentage of costs for almost any reason, provided you purchase it within a specific window after booking your trip.
