Tickets include access to the Foundation Forum program and closing reception.

The following Policies apply to all AAPC and AAPC Foundation events, meetings, and programs, including events produced or staffed by AAPC on behalf of the Foundation.

 

Pay By Check

To pay by check, please contact us at info@aapcfoundation.org so we may generate an invoice. Once your registration has been received and processed, a confirmation email will be sent to you with receipt of payment.

Cancellation Policy

Cancellations must be received in writing via info@aapcfoundation.org. No refunds will be issued for cancellations. No refunds will be issued for no-shows.

Substitutions are welcome in lieu of cancellation anytime. A substitution of your full registration is permitted prior to the event by submitting a written request to info@aapcfoundation.org. Only one substitution is permitted per original registrant. The individual submitting the substitution request is responsible for all financial obligations (any balance due) associated with that substitution. Badge sharing, splitting, and reprints are strictly prohibited.

Please note, there are no refunds for AAPC Foundation contributions as this is a fundraising activity in support of AAPC’s 501(c)3 Education Foundation. Receipts for tax purposes are provided.

Privately Hosted Events Policy

AAPC Foundation prohibits the scheduling of sponsored or by invitation only events marketed to AAPC Foundation attendees that conflict with official meeting functions and/or detract from the Foundation's partnership program, unless explicitly agreed to in writing with the AAPC Foundation.

Anti-Harassment and Professional Conduct Policy

The American Association of Political Consultants (AAPC) is committed to upholding the highest standards for respectful, professional norms and behavior and to fostering an inclusive climate. Consequently, harassment and unprofessional behavior at AAPC events is considered to be a serious form of misconduct. The Anti-Harassment and Professional Conduct Policy modeled closely on the American Political Science Association and Southwest Political Science Association Anti-Harassment Policies, outlines expectations for all who attend and participate in AAPC events and meetings. Read the full policy here.

⚠️ Important Notice About List Scams
We have been informed of a scam circulating via email from a third party attempting to sell a contact list of AAPC members. The AAPC will never offer to sell our member contact list and/or attendee lists for AAPC events through a third party and the scammers have no member or attendee information.

Scammers may also attempt to pose as association members to solicit money. If you or your organization has received a fraudulent email asking you to purchase an AAPC member contact or attendee list, or if you have received an email from someone posing to be an association member soliciting money, please file a fraud report and notify info@theaapc.org.

To file a fraud report, follow the steps below:

• Navigate to the Federal Trade Commission website: ReportFraud.ftc.gov.
• Select “Report Now”
• Select “An impersonator” for Question 1: “Is your report about any of these common problems?”
• Select “Well-known or trusted business” for Question 2: “Who were they pretending to be?”
• Click “Continue”
• Add any relevant information and documentation
• Submit
• Please do not respond to or engage with any scam solicitation emails.
