Change or Postponement of the Event: Show Management reserves the right to cancel, rename, relocate, or change the format of the Event or change the dates on which it is held. If Show Management changes the name of the Event, relocates the Event to another event facility and/or city, changes the format of the Event, or changes the dates for the Show to dates that are not more than 90 days prior or 180 days later than the dates on which the Event originally was scheduled to be held, Show Management shall assign to Attendee, in lieu of the original registration, such other registration as Show Management deems appropriate and Attendee agrees to accept such registration under the terms of this registration.
Force Majeure: If Show Management cancels the Event due to a Force Majeure Event (as defined below) then Attendee shall receive a credit towards the same or similar event equal to the amount paid. For the purpose of this policy, “Force Majeure Event” means any event or circumstance arising that is beyond the reasonable control of Show Management (including but not limited to governmental laws, ordinances, regulations, requisitions, restrictions, guidelines, recommendations or action, imposition of sanctions, embargo, military action, acts or threats of terrorism or war, mob, civil commotion or riot, health scares (including without limitation, epidemic and pandemic (e.g., COVID-19), whether or not new, ongoing or recurring), fire, acts of God, flood, drought, earthquake, severe weather, disaster, disruption to transportation, third party contractor/supplier failure, venue damage or cancellation, industrial dispute, strikes, labor disputes, interruption/failure of utility service, lack of commodities or supplies, accidents, nuclear, chemical or biological contamination, speaker or participant cancellation or withdrawal, or any other comparable calamity or casualty).
Cancellation of Event: If Show Management elects to cancel the Event other than due to a Force Majeure Event, then Show Management shall refund to Attendee its entire fee previously paid, in full satisfaction of all liabilities of Show Management to Attendee. Attendee agrees that, except as expressly provided in this paragraph, it shall and hereby does waive any and all claims for damages or compensation resulting from or relating to the cancellation, postponement, renaming, relocation or rescheduling of the Event. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Show Management may (at its sole discretion) change the format (including, without limitation, from a physical in-person Event to a virtual Event and vice versa), speakers, participants, content, venue location and program or any other aspect of the Event at any time and for any reason, whether or not due to a Force Majeure Event, in each case without liability.
Substitutions are not permitted. We encourage you to invite your colleagues to attend Congress too.

Show Management has noticed that there are several non-approved websites posting information for Congress. These sites are using the Congress name to solicit potential attendees and industry supporters with fraudulent offers. Official registration and housing information will only come from a Congress email address and will include the official vendor seal. If there are any questions about the authenticity of a company or email, please contact Congress Administration. Please use the information on our website only.
All Industry Supporters receive an unlimited number of complimentary Industry Supporter booth badges for staff. You can register staff through the “Registration” tile on the Industry Supporter Resource Center.
All booth staff must be registered and have a badge in hand before they can access the Exhibit Hall floor. Booth staff are required to always wear their badges.
There are two categories of Industry Supporter badges:
Industry Supporter: Industry Supporters receive an unlimited number of booth staff badges which allow your staff access during move-in, official show days, and move out.
Industry Supporter Attendee: This badge category will allow your staff to work in the booth and attend scientific sessions for an upgrade fee. Each package offers a specific number of complimentary Industry Supporter Attendee badges. These have been preloaded into your registration account.
No, badges are not mailed. Badges must be picked up during on-site registration hours.
