CCA Meeting Registration Policies
The following meeting policies apply broadly to CCA meetings and conferences. Should you have any questions about applicability to a specific meeting please email customer service.
Member Registration Rates
You must be a CCA member with your current year dues paid at the time of the event to receive member pricing. If dues are not paid prior to the event, you will be invoiced for the difference between the member and non-member price. Cancellations will be processed in accordance with the attendee refund policy.

30-15 days from the first day of the meeting:

Substitutions
If you are registered and unable to attend the meeting, substitutions may be made, which would allow another individual to attend in your place. To make a substitution, requests must be submitted by the individual or company that originally paid and sent to the CCA office prior to the first day of the meeting.
Please e-mail the CCA office to request a refund or substitution.
Cancellation Policy
As warranted by unforeseen events, CCA reserves the right to enforce venue capacity restrictions for in-person meetings, or to cancel a virtual or in-person meeting or conference. In the unlikely occurrence of such an occurrence, registration fees charged by the CCA will be refunded. However, the CCA will not be held liable for any airline, hotel or other penalties that may be assessed to attendees as a result of an in-person or virtual meeting cancellation.
Photography and Videography Policy
In consideration for your opportunity to attend a CCA-hosted meeting, any ancillary seminars, luncheons or receptions, your registration constitutes your consent to CCA’s use of your image and likeness, or voice for educational and/or promotional purposes. By registering to attend; you release CCA, its employees, agents, successors and assigns, from any and all claims that may arise out of participation in a photo or video shoot and the use of your photograph, video and or likeness.
Meeting Recording Policy
No meeting, whether in person, virtual or via telephone can be transcribed or recorded in audio, video or written format, whether by cell phone, computer or other means. Violators will be asked to leave the meeting and may be barred from attending future CCA events.
Antitrust Policy
Applicability of Antitrust Laws
Professional societies, including the CCA, are subject to federal and state antitrust laws, and must constantly monitor their activities to ensure continued compliance with all antitrust regulations.
Purpose of Antitrust Laws
The antitrust laws prohibit any concerted activity or combination of competitors from interfering with free competition. In other words, the primary thrust of the law is to control private economic power by protecting competition. Persons and organizations are prohibited from engaging in any action which unreasonably restrains commerce or trade (i.e., competition). Per se violations (practices presumed to be inherently wrong regardless of the motivating factors) include: agreements to fix or stabilize prices, to divide markets, to allocate production, or to impose boycotts. In essence, this means any concerted action that significantly diminishes rivalry among competing firms.
The CCA’s Policy
The Board of Directors of the Conference of Consulting Actuaries intends adherence to the antitrust laws. The CCA provides guidance on compliance by regularly communicating to our membership, attendees at our continuing education offerings, and committee/task force meetings regarding both the applicability and purpose of antitrust laws.
