CPE is a globally recognized standard unit of measure for continuing education for security professionals. Please see ISC2 for more information regarding the certification process. Please note Black Hat does not maintain records of earned CPE credits. It is the responsibility of the student to maintain his or her own records.

Black Hat is pleased to offer group discounts of 10% off Briefings for groups of 6 or more and 15% off Briefings for groups of 12 or more. The discount rate is applicable for the Briefings only; there are no additional discounts for Training. The discount will be based on the rate at the time the completed Group Registration Form and list of delegates is received.
Group registration requests are not available after June 30, 2014 and we cannot retroactively apply a discount to a group if they have previously registered as individuals.
ALL groups wishing to apply for a group discount must contact the conference administrator PRIOR to registering online.
If you have already registered and paid in full your registration, you are not eligible for a discount if your organization also submits and qualifies for a group registration. You may cancel your registration minus the $300 registration fee by June 30, 2014 if you wish to partake in your organization's group registration.

Promo codes are only applicable to registrations that are completed online. Only one promo code may be applied to an individual registration. Promo codes may not be combined. Promo codes must be applied at the time of registration. Promo codes may not be applied after registrations have been completed and paid.
Receipts are auto generated from the system once your registration is completed and paid in full. Receipts will be sent via email to the REGISTRANT'S primary and secondary (if provided) email address.
Refunds will only be given if a Black Hat Registration Update Form is completed and returned by June 30, 2014.

Checks: Payments made via check will be refunded with a check. Check refunds will be issued NET 45 from the date of receipt of a completed Black Hat Registration Update Form and a completed W9.
Wires: Payments made via wire will be refunded via bank wire. Wire refunds will be issued NET 45 from the date of receipt of a completed Black Hat Registration Update Form and a completed W8.
All refund requests must be accompanied by a completed Black Hat Registration Update Form and either a W8 for international bank wires or a W9 for US Corporate check refunds.
Substitutions, including those made on-site, are allowed with the written permission of the original registrant. You may submit your request via e-mail or fax by completing the Black Hat Registration Update Form.
If you qualified and registered under the 2014 Alumni program, your registration may be substituted to another qualified Alumnus, however, if the substitution is made to an individual who is not an Alumnus, the difference in fees will be due.
If you find that you have registered yourself for the incorrect class, you must contact us by June 30, 2014 in order for us to move you to the class you originally wanted to be in (space pending). We cannot move you to another class after June 30, 2014.
A substitution is a straight transfer of registration credentials.
If you do not receive a Training Certificate of Training, you must request your certificate no later than 48 hours after the end of the conference or you will not receive one. Black Hat does not replace lost, stolen or misplaced Certificates of Completion.
If Black Hat is forced to close a training class due to low enrollment, you have the following options:
If you wish to change classes, you must submit the Black Hat Registration Update Form by June 30, 2014. You will be billed the difference in the class cost. All outstanding fees must be paid in full by June 30, 2014.
If you are owed a refund for the difference of the class cost, you will be sent a refund via the same method of payment.
Class change requests will not be accepted after June 30, 2014.
All trainers are paid per student registered for the class and it would be unfair to the trainers to change their expected enrollment once we have guaranteed them a certain number of students.
You are registered only for the training class you selected. In order to change classes, you must complete the Training Class Change Request no later than June 30, 2014 space pending. After this date, we cannot change your training class unless it has been cancelled.
Please Email your request to: blackhatregistration@ubm.com. Class space for the training is extremely limited and we have sold out in years past so there is no guarantee that space will be available in the class you are requesting.
All Training seats are reserved in order of payment received. The only way to hold a seat in a training course is to be paid in full at the time of your registration. Black Hat reserves the right to cancel your unpaid registration without notification in order to guarantee the seat to another delegate.
