Badges/Staff Registration

How do I receive my badges? Name badges will be available at the registration area. Exhibitors are required to check in. You may also request name badge changes at this time.

If you need to add any additional vendor badges to staff your exhibit, above and beyond your allotted badges, please do so by the close of advance registration to avoid higher fees. Please use our regular registration form.

Can I use my Exhibitor badge to enter a session? Exhibitor/vendor badges may be used for the sessions, but there is to be absolutely no soliciting. These sessions are educational and are not to be used as an avenue to distribute literature or do any marketing.

Can we swap badges between our staff? If a staff member will not be attending for the duration of the conference, they may give their badge to another staff member. However, you must take the badge to the registration counter and they will reprint it with the replacement name. You must have the badge with you to avoid being charged an additional conference registration fee.

What if I’m registered and lose my badge? Please go to the registration area onsite to reprint your badge. There is no additional fee for a replacement.
