Purchase Orders: What to Know

If you’re using a purchase order (PO) for your membership or event registration, please keep in mind that a PO is not a payment through our system; it’s a way to process a request for an invoice.

Purchase Order

You have a PO from your institution to pay for your TLA order (membership, registration, etc.).
Login to Members Only to create an invoice for your order.
On the checkout screen, choose “Bill Me” and add in your PO number (if applicable).

Invoice

When you select “Bill Me” on the checkout screen, the system will auto-generate an invoice that you can print and forward to your institution’s business office for them to pay the balance.
You do NOT need a PO to generate an invoice.

Payment

TLA accepts payment in the form of credit/debit card payments, checks mailed to the office, ACH transfers, saved bank account information on your Members Only profile.
If needing to provide payment in a different form, please contact [email protected].

Cancellation Policy

Cancellations received in writing (email only) on or before March 12, 2026, will receive a refund, less a 20% administrative fee. No phone requests will be accepted. Refunds will be processed within 60 days following the conclusion of the conference.
Registrations, including meal events, made after March 12, 2026, are non-refundable. Exhibits Only registrations are non-refundable.
TLA reserves the right to cancel all or part of this event.

TLA is not responsible for any indirect, special, or consequential damages (including transportation, lodging, or meal costs) incurred by the registrant.
