Registrations are non-transferable—a new registration and payment are required for all attendees. If your plans change, you can request a refund of your registration fees by sending a written cancellation to RSNA@maritz.com. To receive a refund (minus a $50 administrative fee), your request must be received by Oct. 30, 2026. RSNA is unable to issue refunds for any cancellations received after Oct. 30, and registrations made after this date will be non-refundable. Refunds will not be issued for registration packages that were purchased but not used.
Our cancellation and refund policy applies to additional registration items purchased, including RSNA Labs and conference extras, including Bistro RSNA tickets and RSNA After Dark tickets. Please note that the 5k Fun Run fees and RSNA R&E Foundation donations are tax-deductible and benefit the R&E Foundation. All Fun Run fees and donations are non-refundable.
Yes. Non-member registration categories of student, resident/trainee and medical imaging professional require verification to be processed. Badge classification is subject to RSNA approval and category or rate change. These categories require a business card, a letter from hospital administration stating your role in radiology, a valid RT license or student ID copy. Document upload is required during online registration. If verification qualifies you for a different registration category, the registration will automatically be reclassified and you will be charged the appropriate fee.
Registration is subject to cancellation if verification is not provided within five business days after registration.
