If you are not feeling well before, or at any time during the conference, please consider the safety and well-being of other attendees and staff by staying home or in your hotel room until you feel better. Please contact us if you are unable to attend.

We are happy to help. If you need any special accommodations (e.g., if you are a person who is blind/visually or hearing impaired or use a wheelchair), please contact us to arrange assistance.

We are an informal group. While there is no official dress code, we suggest wearing comfortable shoes because you may be doing a lot of walking. The room temperatures may fluctuate, so dressing in layers is advised. No suits required.

No, you do not need to register for each general or breakout session. Sessions fill on a first-come, first-served basis. The most popular general and breakout sessions fill quickly, so get there early to secure your seat and have a backup in mind. Seats, however, are guaranteed for training or workshops and must be purchased separately.

Yes. Volunteering is a great way to network while getting a behind-the-scenes look at the conference. Choose from a number of fun, well-planned volunteer opportunities. While volunteers do not receive complimentary conference passes, they do receive our unyielding gratitude and respect. Please ensure you are registered for the conference before you apply. Email us to learn about opportunities.
