The following policy applies to all persons present at the conference, not just attendees. AVfM Education, LLC reserves the right to change or modify any policy or rule at any time and without notice.
AVfM Education, LLC reserves the right to revoke, without refund, the badge of any attendee not in compliance with this policy.
Code of Conduct
Attendees must respect common sense rules for public behavior, personal interaction, common courtesy, and respect for private property. Harassing or offensive behavior will not be tolerated.
Persons uncomfortable with the behavior of another attendee should immediately talk to a member of security (in black T-shirts or uniforms). Security will determine what needs to be done, and their decision is final.
E-ticket holder-only mailing list
Attendees agree to be subscribed automatically to the Attendees’ mailing list. This is for announcements only, and your personal email addresses will never be published.
Badges & Lanyards
Always wear your badge and lanyard. You will need your badge to attend the conference, dinner (if pre-ordered), and any organized social events in the evening.
Keep your badge and lanyard visible so that these are easily seen by security officers and others. Security officers may wish to examine your badge and the QR code on the reverse and may ask to compare the details with your photo ID.
Badges are non transferable and must be kept with you at all times. They may not be passed to anyone else.
Cell phones
Please ensure that your cell phones are switched off or set to silent so that the conference is not disturbed by telephones ringing. If you wish to make a call, please do so outside the public areas, which means outside the building.
If it looks as though you are using your cell phone to record proceedings you will be approached by security staff and asked to stop. Repeat offenses (2 or more) will result in the revocation of your license to attend and your ejection from the conference.
Personal baggage
We do not have the facility to store or look after personal baggage so please do not bring anything other than a bag or backpack which you can keep with you at all times. Unattended bags may be subject to inspection, security search and disposal.
Smoking
No smoking is allowed within the conference facilities. If you wish to smoke, please go outside the building but please be considerate towards others. Please dispose of your cigarettes in the external ashtrays provided.
Alcohol
The conference is a non alcohol event. All those attending, in whatever capacity, are requested not to bring alcohol with them. No alcohol is permitted on the premises and anybody seen with alcohol will be asked to put it away. If they do not, it will be removed and disposed of forthwith.
