Cancellation Policy
As indicated above and on the registration form all vendors must submit, all NBBF deposits, fees and other payments are non-refundable and there are no exceptions. However, in the event of an exhibitor's (author, publisher, or small business) cancellation, the following policy applies:

• For exhibitors that have made a deposit on a vendor table for the 2024 NBBF, their name/link is still listed on the NBBF website's home page with a "supporting" status. The name/link will remain until Dec. 31, 2024.
• For exhibitors that have paid their exhibit fee in full for the 2024 NBBF, the exhibitor may opt to have $50 of the fee applied to next year's event as a deposit toward a vendor table. The remaining balance would be due by July 31, 2025. The amount of the remaining balance would depend on when the original registration was made (e.g., early bird, standard, or late registration).
• Vendor table registration fees and event ticket purchases are NOT transferable to marketing, advertising, or other programs, nor are they transferable to a different vendor.
