Dealer room packages and associated fees when purchased with registration are considered registration fees. Special events or non-registration events such as banquets or other events are subject to the discretion of the StokerCon Chairs, HWA Board, and Senior Staff.

These will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. Proof of the extenuating circumstance may be required.

 

The Horror Writers Association (HWA) will assist in the sale or transfer of registrations only to the extent that it will recognize said sale or transfer as it pertains to name badges, any associated swag, access to the convention event spaces, banquet attendance (if included), or any other special access granted by the registration sold or transferred.

 

The HWA will not function as an intermediary in any exchange of monies on the sale of a registration and will not be responsible for any loss incurred therein. You may post publicly on the HWA and StokerCon Facebook pages if you wish to offer your registration for sale or transfer. Please allow up to three weeks for any refund request to be processed.
