It is NEMA's intention to conduct a successful meeting while also keeping everyone as safe as possible. A great deal of thought and preparation has gone into determining the guidelines under which the meeting should proceed. We understand that some of these rules may seem overly cautious but under the circumstances the NEMA staff and leadership believe it's better to proceed with an abundance of caution. We ask for your cooperation, patience and understanding as we try to navigate a large meeting safely. All participants will be expected to follow the Safe & Successful Meeting Guidance and agree to the Code of Conduct, Terms and Conditions when you register. Please read them carefully and mindfully.

Here are some of the ways we'll be working to keep everyone safe:

*Additional precautionary measures may be added. Please be sure to carefully read all forum correspondance for guidance and instructions and check the website regularly for updates.

• Submitting your registration and payment constitutes an agreement on your part to accept the NEMA Forum Code of Conduct, Terms and Conditions. PLEASE READ THEM CAREFULLY.

• Please reserve only the number of hotel rooms to accommodate confirmed forum attendees. Past forums have seen the room block fill very early, necessitating an overflow hotel be contracted, only to see large numbers of cancellations at the original hotel just before the forum. This makes NEMA vulnerable to fees for not meeting the room block and inconveniences other forum attendees who are forced to stay at different hotels. Your cooperation in this is appreciated. Payment in full before the forum is required. Credentials and forum materials will not be assigned to those with outstanding fees.
  
  
• Cancellations received in writing before September 16, 2022, will receive a refund less a $250 administration charge.
  
  
• Registration fees for cancellations received after September 16, 2022, will not be refunded.
  
  
• Registrations are transferable.
  
  
• You will be given a confirmation number at the end of your registration that serves as your proof of registration. If you do not receive a confirmation number, please contact NEMA as you will *NOT* be registered for the conference.
