Cancellations & rebooking

Sometimes workshops unfortunately get cancelled or a participant cancels. Here we explain what to do in different cancellation scenarios. 

Cancellation by participant

Check the cancellation ticket terms and conditions. If these terms and conditions ever change, this is the page that needs to be updated. This page is linked at the end of each workshop event on the website and to the confirmation email that participants get when they purchase a ticket. Always refer to this page if a participant has questions concerning this.

Cancellation by Mediamatic

Mediamatic reserves the right to cancel the workshop if minimum number of participants is not reached (this can vary per workshop, but generally it is half of the maximum number). We decide 3-4 days before if the workshop will be cancelled. It is important to notify the tutor and the participants as soon as possible. We always offer to reschedule the participants’ ticket for the next workshop (or any future dates of the workshop if they cannot make the next one). In case they request a refund, this is also possible.
