Billing rates and dates are listed below. To avoid additional charges, your selected participants will need to register in the time frame you were billed at.

Individual purchase Refund and Cancelation: You may cancel your registration within 14 days of purchase or until March 29th, whichever comes first. All purchases and registrations made after 3/29/23 are not eligible for cancellation or refund. The last day to cancel your registration is March 29th. Cancellations incur a $500 fee. To cancel, log in to your NextUp Account and select “My Event Registration” from the left navigation. Here, you can cancel any upcoming registrations by clicking “Cancel.”

Partner Purchase Code Refunds & Cancellations: Codes can be cancelled (refunded) within 14 days of the code request or by 3/29/23, whichever comes first. Please email learning@nextupisnow.org to request code cancelations.

Transfers: An unused Partner Purchase code(s) and individual registrations can be transferred to a different attendee until 3/29/23. If an individual is not able to attend the Rising Stars program, another participant can be selected. Unused codes and individual attendee drops will not be eligible for refund or transfer after 3/29/23.

To transfer a code, please email learning@nextupisnow.org so that we can process the attendee transfer for you. Transfers will incur an administrative fee of $100 per transfer and are based on availability.

Transfer between cohorts (Cohort A > B or B > A) are also referred to as transfers and all transfer policies apply.

Why are cancellations not offered after March 29th?

As a 501c3 nonprofit organization, NextUp unfortunately does not have the flexibility to absorb the unexpected cost of cancellations after our cutoff date. Offering refunds at that time would negatively impact our ability to deliver on our mission, and to create events like NextUp Rising Stars learning program.

Why are transfers not allowed after March 29th?

Rising Stars is a robust learning program that includes assessments and coaching. We are unable to transfer a person after March 29th as assessments are ordered for the participant and coaching assignments are made. To preserve the quality of experience for each participant and their groups, we are unable to make changes to the roster after 3/29/23.

As no goods or services are provided for registrations that go unused after March 29th, you may contact us to request that your registration fee be converted into a tax-deductible charitable donation to NextUp if you are unable to use your registration. Please contact connect@nextupisnow.org for more information.

Hotel:

Hotel rooms and block rates are on a first-come, first-served basis from the opening of Rising Stars registration. We recommend booking as soon as possible after registration to avoid any issues with securing accommodations. Please note that the hotel room block and rates are limited and first come, first served. Throughout registration, but especially during the final 2 weeks registration is open, few or no rooms may be available.

*The policies listed are specific to Rising Stars 2023 only and supersede any other NextUp event policies.
