Frequently Asked Questions

What if I do not see the correct fee?

The registration fee is automatically calculated based on your membership status, grade, and plan. If the fee displayed is not what you expected, we kindly ask you to verify your membership against the fees listed on our website

Why don’t I get the loyalty status fee?

According to our loyalty programme, full members with a continued membership of more than one year will be awarded the loyalty badge and receive a discount on meeting registration fees. In addition, any member joining SETAC or renewing with a full 3-year membership will automatically obtain the loyalty status and benefit from the reductions.  

What if I need an invoice to pay later?

You need to register first so that an invoice is issued. In the checkout step of the registration process you will be asked for billing information. If your organisation pays for the registration, choose 'company' and fill in the information. Check the 'Bill me' option so that an invoice is created that can be paid later. You will receive a booking confirmation email and an invoice email. Please check your spam folder. You can also download your invoice in your account under View My Order History . 

What if my organisation asks for separate invoices?

If your organisation asks for separate invoices for registration and other tickets (such as the social events or training courses), first complete the process for the registration fee to receive an invoice via email or in your SETAC account. To add other tickets, go to your account > View My Events > View Booking > Get more tickets or My Sessions. A new invoice will be issued and emailed or available in your SETAC account.
