Terms, Conditions & Policies

EVENT SUMMARY: The Sweet Fest® Business Conference, also known as Sweet Fest Con 2016, is a business focused conference for aspiring & established professionals in the baking & sweets industry. Sweet Fest Con is a weekend crammed with invaluable information & tips to help Sweet Entrepreneurs with managing & growing their sweet business. Sweet Fest Con goes beyond the typical trade show, cake competition, or sweets expo in that it places a heavier emphasis on sharing business knowledge & tools with the Sweet Community.

GUEST ACCESS:
NEW in 2017, registered Sweet Fest Con attendees can register a guest to tag along during evening social activities. Guests will be provided event swag, t-shirts, and evening meals along with the other Sweet Fest Con attendees. Guests are NOT ALLOWED access to any daytime lectures, seminars or masterclasses. Any guest wishing to attend these activities must register as a Sweet Fest Con attendee.

PAYMENT PLAN POLICY:
If you need a little more time to pay your Registration Fee, you have the option to select one of our provided payment plan structures*. Within 24‐72 hours of submitting your initial payment, you will receive an invoice or invoices for the balance of your Registration fee. This invoice(s) will show a due date that coincides with a date that is one month from your registration submission date.

All payment plan balances must be paid in full by 11:59PM EST September 9, 2017. Full Registration payments will be accepted until the conference is SOLD OUT or until September 15, 2017, whichever occurs first.
