If you can’t attend a scheduled activity, it’s crucial to notify the Future Proof Retreat team immediately. Failure to participate in scheduled activities may affect your eligibility for reimbursements and future participation.
You’ll receive timely updates and reminders via email and text. Make sure to check your spam folder and keep an eye on communications from our registration team.
