Special Covid Considerations:
As we adhere to Covid protocols, Travel Classics is doing everything possible to keep attendees virtually networked and informed. First, registered Swiss conference writers may participate in monthly Zoom meetings with the editors throughout 2021. Second, in an effort to reach a wider audience, writers may share their news in a quarterly Travel Classics Media Letter going to the TC readership beginning March 15, 2021.
Refunds:
A full refund will be given up until March 1, 2021. After March 1, 2021, attendees may continue with weekly zoom meetings with the editors, but the refunds will go to 50% for cancellations between March 1, 2021 and November 1, 2021.
