Deadlines & Fees
OLC Event Registration Polices
As a small non-profit organization, we strive to create registration policies that offer flexibility to accommodate the unforeseen circumstances that participants may face, while also sustaining our support and services across our community.
As such, we have established the following policies for OLC Conferences/Events.
Payment Policy
- Access to the event will not be provided until full payment is received by non-members. OLC members (Professional and Institutional) must pre-register (complimentary) to gain access to the event.
- All accepted presenters must register for the event (per member or non-member rates as applicable).
Event registration may be paid with a credit card, check, or wire transfer. - Purchase orders are accepted at registration, but must be paid in full before access is granted.
- Registration may be paid with a valid, unexpired OLC credit memo.
- No refunds will be made on credit memos.
- Credit memos are transferable within an institution.
Substitution and Conversion Policy
- Substitutions to a different attendee are allowed one time and must be made by Monday, July 20, 2026. No substitutions will be allowed after this date.

- Cancellation requests must be submitted in writing to conference@onlinelearning-c.org.

If you do not attend the program and do not submit a written request for refund, credit memo, or substitution request by July 2, 2026, the Online Learning Consortium will retain all fees. OLC strives to deliver our events as scheduled. However, we reserve the right to reschedule, restructure or cancel a program due to unforeseen extenuating circumstances or low registration.

Presenters are provided with the applicable Early Bird member/non-member rate for the event. Presenters must register by 6/25/26 in order for the discount to apply. Any presenters registering after 6/25/26 will be charged regular member/non-member rates. Presenters who do not register by 6/25/26 are at risk of cancellation from the program.

Event Attendance Policies
By registering for an OLC event, you agree to comply with all rules and conditions of OLC event participation. These policies are strictly enforced and apply without exception to all attendees, including exhibitors and media. Violation of the policies will result in being removed from the event with no refund and no ability to return on subsequent days.
Representation
Upon registering for an event, you agree to represent yourself at the event using the affiliation used to register. Changes in affiliations in your account for the event after registration are not permitted.
Expectations for Conduct
As a community, we do not tolerate discrimination, abuse, or harassment of any kind by anyone at our physical and virtual events. Prohibited behaviors include, but are not limited to, harassment or intimidation based on race, religion, language, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, disability, appearance, or other group status; sexual harassment, including unwelcome sexual attention, stalking (physical or virtual), or unsolicited contact; and disorderly or disruptive actions in any physical or virtual conference space, including meeting rooms, live or online sessions, video conference channels, chat and discussion spaces, live or online exhibit hall, or in any other conference spaces, that might adversely affect another participant’s experience. We expect all participants to be respectful of other people and their viewpoints, even though they might be different, and to assist with creating and maintaining an inclusive and respectful environment at all times. If you feel threatened, or harassed, or at risk of physical harm, or witness any questionable behavior:
If in an emergency situation:
- Immediately dial 9-1-1 or ask for assistance from on-site security

OLC reserves the right at its sole discretion to expel anyone, without refund, from all current and future events, whose conduct is not in keeping with these expectations.
Non-Exhibitor Solicitation Restrictions
In order to protect our valued sponsors and the significant investment they have made to participate as a partner at the event, our rules strictly prohibit solicitation by attendees who do NOT have sponsorship of the event. Any non-sponsors who are observed soliciting business at the event, a practice known as “suitcasing” or “outboarding”, will be removed from the virtual venue immediately. Individuals and companies found to be suitcasing or outboarding may also be excluded from future OLC events.
Recording & Photography
Common courtesy dictates that attendees must obtain any presenter’s permission to post, record, or stream their session or activity in any medium or social media channel (including, but not limited to, Instagram, Bluesky, SnapChat, TikTok, Facebook, and YouTube). Sharing out links, resources, login credentials, or other information intended for registered participants to an event to non-registrants is not acceptable. OLC reserves the right to ask any participant to move within or to leave a session venue if their use of technology is disruptive to presenters or other participants or shared with non-registrants.
Please Note: By attending the event, you are agreeing to allow images, audio, chat excerpts, and video of you recorded on site or during a virtual session taken by OLC personnel to be used for educational and promotional purposes. Please contact customerservice@onlinelearning-c.org with questions.

Registration refund and cancellation policies apply; substitutions will be allowed for medical emergencies or illness.
