# Remote participation fee waivers
We understand that not everyone can afford the remote registration fee and so we make an unlimited number of remote participation fee waivers available. This operates on a trust basis with no checks on eligibility, and the list of fee waiver recipients is kept confidential. If you wish to participate remotely but cannot afford the registration fee then please take the fee waiver option:

# Registration changes and cancellation
If you register for onsite participation and wish to change to an online registration then you can cancel with a full refund and re-register. If you wish to cancel your registration for any other reason please contact us at [e-mail]. Please request any cancellations and refunds by contacting us at [e-mail] before 15 July 2024 UTC.

# Meeting venue and hotel reservations
The meeting venue is the Hyatt Regency Vancouver, which is also the main IETF hotel.  In addition, we have rooms as available at the Sheraton Vancouver Wall Center, while further options are being explored. Details can be found on the IETF 120 Meeting Venue and Hotel page:

   https://www.ietf.org/meeting/120/hotel

PLEASE NOTE: Room availability across Vancouver during this week is expected to be very low as there are other large events happening over this time, leading to very high guest room rates.  We encourage you to book early for IETF 120.  To ensure that our room block is only used by IETF participants, the link to register is only provided after registration and should not be shared.
