Conditions of Registration and Attendance
To protect the rights of our exhibitors and the value of our exhibit space, the ACFAS Annual Scientific Conference and the meeting space in which ACFAS events are conducted are not to be used as a venue for marketing products, services, meetings, publications, sponsorships, or memberships except for authorized organizations that purchase exhibit space. Any non-exhibitor found to be in violation of this policy shall be invoiced the fee for one exhibit booth and shall not be admitted to the exhibit hall until such fee is paid in full regardless of membership status.

ACFAS reserves the right to regulate the use of all hotel space in which ACFAS events are conducted, including but not limited to the distribution of promotional materials to guests or meeting rooms. Meeting rooms and hospitality suites may be available for rental by exhibitors and/ or organizations authorized by ACFAS. Speakers are requested not to promote non-ACFAS programs since the College cannot attest to the content or quality of such events and such promotion could be interpreted as an endorsement of said event(s). ACFAS reserves exclusive right to modify, postpone/reschedule or cancel programs for any reason, including but not limited to emergency, inclement weather, or other ‘acts of God.’ Every attempt will be made to reschedule and registration fees will be applied to the rescheduled event date.
