FAQ

Can I register a group without finalizing who will be in the group?

Yes! We don't need any names or personal information for your group members at the time of registration. Simply purchase however many tickets you need, and we'll have that many wristbands ready at the conference under your name — ready for you to pick up and distribute to your group when you arrive.

Can I transfer my registration?

Transfers are the responsibility of the two parties involved. CROSS is not responsible for arranging payment for transferred tickets. For individual ticket transfers, instruct the new owner to use the previous owner’s name at check-in — they will receive their tickets. For transfers of tickets that are part of a group, the original group owner should pick up all their tickets and then arrange to meet the new owner at the KICC to transfer the wristband(s).

What is the cancellation policy?

Refundable Tickets: You may cancel your registration for any reason at any time before December 1, 2026. You’ll receive a full refund minus a $20 processing fee per conference ticket. If you purchased a meal plan, you may receive a full refund minus $10 per ticket. To request a cancellation or refund, email info@crosscon.com. Non-Refundable Tickets: Refunds are not available at any time. However, you’re welcome to sell or transfer your ticket to someone else.
