Registration Information

Please note that the Spirit of Hospitality Summit has adopted an updated format for 2026. This year’s Summit will feature a primary day of programming on Thursday, November 5, with a more focused and immersive schedule of sessions and keynote experiences.

To enhance opportunities for engagement, a pre-conference professional development workshop and networking reception will take place on Wednesday, November 4. These optional events are designed to provide additional value, connection, and early access to Summit experiences.

We look forward to welcoming you to this refreshed format, designed to maximize impact while maintaining the high-quality content and connections you expect from the Spirit of Hospitality Summit.

Payment & Refund Policy

Refund Policy

All event attendees must pay in advance in order to attend an event. Refunds of fees paid in advance for non-credit activities may be made for a participant who subsequently is unable to attend and who requests in writing a refund prior to the event. All refunds will be processed in accordance with the following schedule:

a. If registration cancellation is received by Purdue Conferences 45 or more days prior to the start of the event, the refund will be 100% of the attendee’s deposit;

b. If registration cancellation is received by Purdue Conferences less than 45 days but 15 or more days prior to the start of the event, the refund will be 50% of the attendee’s deposit;

c. If registration cancellation is received by Purdue Conferences less than 15 days prior to the start of the event, the attendee will not receive a refund of the attendee’s deposit.

No refunds will be provided for registration cancellations or adjustments resulting in a balance of less than $50.00.

A refund will not be made to a participant who has attended any of the sessions. Exceptions may be made if, in the judgment of the Chairperson and Event Planner, extenuating circumstances exist that prevent full attendance. A request for refund may require that some or all fees be withheld if costs were incurred based upon the assumption that the individual would attend. 

Substitutions are generally preferable to refunds. If a participant is unable to attend a program, another individual may be substituted if Purdue Conferences is notified and provided with the needed information about the new participant.
