The program for this convention was very slim pickings anyway... Netflix is the only big company presenting (of course). I'm saddened how cloud providers have given no love to BSD.

So when something like this happens, what do people do about potentially $1000 in unrefundable airfare?

depending on your airline, they may offer credit or let you change your flight without any fees.

I have direct connections who will be incredibly negatively impacted by the financial repercussions of all the lost business opportunities if NAB weren't to happen. Broadcast Media is contracting at best, and this won't help.

I'm not saying it won't be the right call, but it will have rippling effects beyond mere inconvenience.

Website in GP says that registration fees are only 50% refundable, too.

Sometimes your credit card company will automatically issue you a travelers insurance reimbursement.
