We understand the uncertainty in our world at the moment. If you register for remote attendance and later want to attend in person, you can let us know and we will provide you with a method of paying the difference between the two registration options. The non- Early Bird rates will apply. We will have to set a deadline for changing your mind to allow for additional in-person attendees to be properly accommodated but changing your plans should be easy to accommodate until August 1, 2021, at least. We cannot, however, guarantee access to accommodations at the conference hotel but, if space is still available, the conference rate will apply.

We will be employing whatever COVID-19 precautions and restrictions that are appropriate at the time of the conference. We will continue our cleaning protocols that have been established as part of addressing the COVID-19 challenges. Given the direction things are progressing, we expect to be at 100% capacity. Masks will be optional but not required. All attendees will need to register with the FIU COVID symptom check mobile application each day prior to arriving on campus. As we get closer to the conference date, we will communicate all current COVID information to all attendees.

No. By staying at the conference hotel, you will have access to the complimentary transportation to and from the conference site each day and you will be at the center of the action for networking with other conference attendees after each day’s events.

Sure. We have a registration option for a non-conference attendee to join us at the social event.

In addition to having access to all conference sessions, your in-person registration includes all scheduled transportation, conference gifts, continental breakfasts, coffee breaks, lunches, and the Saturday evening social event.
