If your substitution requires us to process a new payment (change in credit card, additional class fees), the person will be required to email blackhatregistration@informa.com and billed for all applicable registration fees.

If your substitution requires a Training class change, the person will be required to email blackhatregistration@informa.com and billed all applicable registration fees.

Training Class Cancellations by Black Hat

In the event that a Training is canceled due to a Trainer cancelation, enrollment criteria not being met or other reasons beyond our control, we will contact you immediately to make an alternate selection.

If Black Hat is forced to cancel a Training class, you have the following options:

  • Move to another class, space pending. You should reply to the email sent to you regarding your cancelled class or email blackhatregistration@informa.com. Please note that if the newly selected course is more expensive, you must pay the difference. If the newly selected course is less expensive, you will be issued a refund for the difference in the original payment instrument.
  • Receive a full refund if you choose to cancel your Training – you will not be assessed an administrative fee.

Training Class Change Request

You are registered only for the Training class you selected. In order to change classes, you must email blackhatregistration@informa.com no later than July 1 2022 space pending. After this date, we cannot change your Training class unless it has been cancelled.

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.

If additional payment is required, you will be billed the difference in the class cost. All outstanding fees must be paid in full by July 1 2022.

Please email your request to: blackhatregistration@informa.com. Class space for the Training is extremely limited and we have sold out in years past. There is no guarantee that space will be available in the class you are requesting.


Training Class Reservations

Registering without payment will not reserve or hold a seat in a Training course, all Training course seats are first-come, first-paid. Payment for any pass which includes a Training class must be paid within 2 weeks from the date of the original registration date. Black Hat reserves the right to cancel your unpaid registration without notification in order to guarantee the seat to a paid delegate.
