Any revisions to our face covering policy will be dictated by CDC Guidelines and recommendations by state and county health officials. The policy may be revised up to and including the time of the conference.

Sanitizing stations are set up throughout the function space.

Attendees are encouraged to wash hands frequently with soap and water for at least 20 seconds and avoid touching eyes, nose and mouth with unwashed hands.
Notice of Potential Event Changes
Because of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic which has resulted in various city, state, and federal regulations, guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control (“CDC”) and state and local health authorities, and emergency orders (together, “Government Orders”), we are currently unable to predict how many attendees will be able to attend this event in person. Based on current circumstances, we are moving forward with the plan of accommodating the greatest number of in-person attendees to the extent it is deemed safe and advisable by applicable Government Orders. Since the state of the pandemic and Government Orders can rapidly change without notice, we reserve the right to adjust the number of attendees registered to attend the in-person portion of our conference at any time, and to convert any or all registrations to a virtual registration to the extent required by applicable Government Orders. All registrations are non-refundable, even if converted from an in-person registration to a virtual registration. WPHD is not responsible for any additional costs you may incur due to a conference cancellation or conversion from in-person to virtual, including, but not limited to, cancellation fees, airfare, accommodations, transportation costs, etc.
Attendance at the Conference is subject to the conference’s policies and procedures, which will be based on current Government Orders, as well as the policies and procedures of the venue. Because Government orders or the policies and procedures of the venue may change at any time with little or no advance notice, we reserve the right to change our policies and procedures at any time. By registering for the Conference, you agree to comply with Government Orders and the conference’s and the venue’s policies and procedures, including, but not limited to, face coverings, social distancing, quarantine, or health screenings and/or questionnaires.
We, or the venue, reserve the right to ask an attendee to leave the Conference or to refuse admission to a live attendee who violates the policies and procedures of the Conference, the conference, and/or the venue. If you are asked to leave or refused admission to the Conference you will not be readmitted into the Conference and no refund will be provided.
