Will the sessions be available post-program for On Demand viewing?

Yes, the sessions with approved sharing permissions will be available for On Demand viewing for the Forum. On Demand content will be available 3-4 weeks post-event. All registered attendees will be alerted via email when content is available.

Will I receive any materials as an attendee?

You also have the option to personalize your name badge at registration check-in with custom ribbons to identify your attendee role, such as First-Time Attendee, Committee Member, Associate Director, and more. In addition to these resources, you will have access to portable chargers, and snacks and drinks during the session breaks.

Is there a dress code?

The dress code we suggest is business casual. Meeting rooms are often on the cooler side, so please remember to bring a jacket or sweater as room and body temperatures do vary.
