FAQ

Yes, you may still be able to register, but the deadline exists for a reason.
Please email your registration request, and we’ll let you know if it’s still possible.

Deadlines help us properly plan lunches and event logistics.
You might be able to register after the deadline, but you may not be able to participate in everything, such as lunch.

Pricing will remain the same, even if lunch is no longer available.

It’s important to register before the deadline if you want to enjoy the full event experience.

Note: We reserve the right to refuse registrations submitted after the deadline without explanation.

The EBSCA Full Membership and the EBSCA-ABCA Joint Membership are valid from September 1 to August 31 each year.

Memberships automatically expire on August 31 and must be renewed annually to remain active.

To register for an EBSCA convention or event, your EBSCA Full Membership must be valid through the event dates. If the event takes place after August 31, make sure your membership is renewed beyond that date.

Each year, you’ll receive an invitation to our upcoming convention. Even if you decide not to attend, you can still renew your EBSCA Full Membership. If you choose not to renew, your account will automatically revert to a free EBSCA Account.

Note: the NFCA part of  EBSCA-NFCA Joint Membership may have different expiration dates. Sign in at the website of NFCA for exact information.

Yes, EBSCA allows registration online or by email. Registration by regular mail is not available.

You can also register in person at some of our events (Late Entry Fee!). Please note that walk-in registrations may not include the full package, such as lunch or other benefits requiring advance reservation, but still might be at full price.

We will send you a payment link for payment. Cash payments may be accepted at certain events, but never for memberships.

Just contact us to inquire about registration.

Yes, if an invoice was generated during registration, you can download a copy in the Member Area. After signing in, go to the Member Area and open My Invoices. There you can download your invoice.
