Frequently Asked Questions

What is the "Price" and the "Fee"?

Answer: The cost to register for FIT is $25 before COB March 15.  After March 15 the registration cost is $75.  The "Fee" is what the California Society of American Foresters pays to Eventbrite for the web-based registration fee processing.

It was necessary to include a registration fee to discourage people from registering and then not participating. Even with the $25 registration fee about 35% of applicants don't participate.

Can I receive a refund of the registration fee?

Answer: No, there is no refund of the registration fee.  The California Society of American Foresters began charging an registration fee several years ago as a way to reduce excessive participant withdrawal.  The registration fee appears to be too low to reduce this behavior as the withdrawal rate continues to exceed 30%.

Can I attend FIT again?

Answer: Yes, but you must pay the cost of participation of $800.
