POLICIES, TERMS & CONDITIONS
Force Majeure
In the event of a full or partial cancellation of the ACRM Annual Conference due to natural disaster or other force beyond the control of ACRM, ACRM will refund registrations in proportion with the cancellation insurance proceeds it receives. Registrants may purchase travel insurance to further protect themselves in the event of a full or partial cancellation of the ACRM Annual Conference.
Photo Release
Attending the ACRM Annual Conference constitutes an agreement by the registrant to permit ACRM to use and distribute (both now and in the future and with no remuneration to attendee) of the attendee’s image or voice as captured in photographs, videotapes, electronic reproductions and audio files of events attended for any lawful purpose including, but not limited to, illustrating and promoting the conference experience.
Recording
Recording or photographing conference sessions, panel discussions or sponsor exhibits is strictly prohibited. Program PDFs and/or recordings will be made available to attendees who have purchased the World Pass or purchased access to these separately.
Solicitation
By registering, you agree not to solicit vendors or exhibitors.
Seating
We make our best judgment to assign rooms to the size that we think will match the estimated audience. Every year we try to improve this process. Seating is limited by the size of the rooms, and you are not guaranteed a seat in any session. Seating is first come, first served. Signing up for sessions that interest you in the ACRM app helps us to make sure the more popular sessions are held in the largest rooms to accommodate the most attendees.
Etiquette
To make the conference experience an enjoyable event for all attendees, we ask that you keep the following in mind:
- As a courtesy to our speakers and other attendees, refrain from the use of pagers or cell phones during presentations. Participants of this conference are in attendance to learn so we ask that you take conversations unrelated to the program outside of the session rooms.
- In order to accommodate environmental sensitivities of some attendees, if at all possible, refrain from or use moderate levels of scented products.
- To maintain and demonstrate professionalism within our industry, conference attire is business casual.
Badges
Wear your badge at all times for access to conference events. Badges are not transferable.
Smoking
For the comfort and health of all attendees, smoking is not permitted at any ACRM event. This includes general sessions, workshops, luncheons, receptions, and in the exhibit hall. You may smoke in designated areas located in the conference facilities.
Statement of Liability Waiver — Terms of Registration
ACRM or any other conference sponsor claims no liability for the acts of any suppliers at or to the meeting, or for the safety of any registrant while in transit to or from this event. ACRM shall not be liable for any delays or failure in performance or interruption of services resulting directly or indirectly from any cause or circumstance beyond the reasonable control of the organization including but not limited to, acts of God, acts of public enemy, war, accidents, fires, electrical failures, strikes, labor disputes, postal delays, explosions, governmental order or regulations.
ACRM reserves the right to cancel the conference or any function without liability. Registrants who purchased non-refundable airline tickets do so at their own risk. The total amount of any liability of ACRM will be limited to a refund of the registration fee.
Recognizing the nature of receptions and the potential for alcohol abuse at conferences, all ACRM and ACRM sponsored events will offer non-alcoholic drinks. No alcohol will be served to anyone under the age of 21. Conference participants are responsible for their own well-being and neither ACRM or the sponsors will be held accountable for any events or occurrences resulting from excessive drinking, recklessness or negligence on the part of any conference participant(s).
By attending the conference, the registrant agrees to indemnify and hold harmless ACRM, other conference sponsors, their respective officers, directors and agents, against all claims arising out of actions or omissions of supplier, attendee, or other individual at or in connection with the conference except for ACRM’s or any other sponsor’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct.
ACRM or any other conference sponsor reserves the right to substitute an equally qualified speaker in case of an emergency or cancellation.
ACRM or any conference sponsor has no duty of due diligence with respect to presenters, exhibitors, or sponsors, and makes no endorsements of any presentation or product.
Sessions, events and exhibits can only be attended by registered attendees.
