Conference Policies

Recording or photographing conference sessions, panel discussions or sponsor exhibits is strictly prohibited.

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 helps us to make sure the more popular sessions are held in the largest rooms to accommodate the most attendees.

Special Needs

We make sure our facility has total accessibility and we do whatever is needed to make attending the event as convenient as possible for all attendees. If you have a special need, please email us: memberservices@ACRM.org.

Conference 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.

Photo Release

Attending an ACRM event 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 event experience.

Force Majeure

In the event of a full or partial cancellation of the ACRM Spring Meeting 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 Spring Meeting.

Smoking

For the comfort and health of all attendees, smoking is not permitted at any ACRM event. This includes general sessions, workshops, luncheons, and receptions. You may smoke only in designated areas, if available, in the meeting facility.
