WINTER CLINICS TERMS AND CONDITIONS
For Registered Attendees
The Winter Clinics Committee maintains a commitment to the safety and health of our attendees. Therefore, it has decided for the 2024 conference:
1) We highly recommend conference attendees, exhibitors, and sponsor representatives and guests appearing at Winter Clinics in person be fully-vaccinated against COVID-19 and Influence using an FDA approved vaccine. However, we are not requiring this. Guests must accept this risk.
2) All attendees should consider any recent "unmitigated exposures"* to COVID+ or persons with the influenza and/or their personal health status just prior to coming to the event. If a person must self-quarantine or stay home due to illness, we will refund you down to the online price for the registration ticket you chose. No full refunds will be provided. You must make this request prior to the start of the event February 29, 6 PM.
3) If you are coughing and/or sneezing or showing signs of respiratory illness, we kindly request for you to watch online from your room and/or mask while in public.
*By "unmitigated exposures" we mean following the normal public CDC guidelines for when to quarantine posted on their website. Their guidelines don't take into account healthcare workers who may be exposed routinely but mitigated by full PPE precautions.
These safety protocols may be strengthened or loosened based on prevailing conditions closer to the event. The event may also be cancelled or converted to a virtual event should extenuating circumstances occur.
Cancellation Policy
Self-initiated cancellation requests must be made in writing. For all other reasons besides a COVID-19 exposure and recommended quarantine, or isolation, they will be honored according to the following dates:
Late Registration Fee
