    We thank you for your patience and continued support. Let us know if you encounter any more issues.

    Hi all,

    We have extended our early bird deadline to October 12th due to our PayPal registration issues. We are doing the best we can to set up a new payment system to replace PayPal. We hope Affinipay will complete the set up and paperwork this week. We will let you know once our new payment system is up and running.

    We thank you for your patience and continued support, and apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.

    In the meantime, if you would like to maintain the early bird registration cost, you can just register to generate the invoice, and pay later, and this will allow you to pay the early bird rate even after Oct 12th.

    Our speaker bios will be up on our website soon. Please check our schedule for recent changes to our speaker times.

    As always, please let your colleagues and coworkers know about our food safety workshop! We have a huge line up of well known speakers from out of town!

    4th October 2018 - PayPal is now once more accepting payments.  We don't foresee any further issues in accepting credit card payment.  Our apologies for the inconvenience.

    Hello all,

    Please accept our apologies for the issues related to payment for the Fall Workshop registration. For those who have registered, be assured we have received your application and you are on the participant list and you are guaranteed at the early registration rate. 

    We are experiencing issues with the link to PayPal, our current payment processor, and intend to resolve that by switching to Affinipay who have set up a partnership with our website provider. This will take a few more days to complete and we will send out a notification at that time when you will be able to pay the invoice for registrations.

    Once we notify you that our payment system is active those who have registerd can go to the invoice, link in the email you received at registration, and pay online, or  you can log into the website and look up your invoices.

    Early registration will be extended until October 12th.


    Sincerely,
    Simon Cowell, BCFPA Treasurer
