Cancellations & No Show Policy
Every hotel will have its individual Terms & Conditions. We advise you read the Terms & Conditions thoroughly before making a booking. Terms & Conditions are available on the dftb24.com accommodation page or the individual hotel DFTB24 booking portals. The Conference Secretariat is not liable for any cancellations or late fees. To cancel or make changes to your reservation, please contact the hotel directly.
Early Arrival
As check in at most hotels is not until 1400, it is possible that your room may not be ready for immediate occupation on your early arrival. Whilst hotels will do everything possible to accommodate early arrivals, if you wish to be guaranteed immediate occupation you can pay an extra day’s tariff for the night before you are due to arrive. If you wish to take this precaution, please notify the hotel that your room is required early.
