RSNA is unable to issue refunds for any cancellations received after Oct. 30, and registrations made after this date will be non-refundable.

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.

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.
