Nondiscrimination Policy
LMSA is committed to providing a safe, productive, and welcoming environment to all LMSA event participants. LMSA has no tolerance for discrimination, harassment, or bullying in any form at any LMSA event. Participants are expected to adhere to these principles and respect the rights of others.
Specifically, LMSA prohibits discrimination, harassment, and bullying against any person for any reason—for example, because of age, ancestry, color, disability or handicap, national origin, race, religion, gender, sexual or affectional orientation, gender identity, appearance, matriculation, political affiliation, marital status, veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by law.

Any event registrant or attendee who engages in discriminatory behavior against any other registrant or attendee shall be removed from the event and prevented from joining future LMSA events at the discretion of the LMSA National leadership or its designated representative(s).

Participants should report any behavior inconsistent with the principles above to LMSA event organizers or LMSA National leaders. These individuals will be happy to assist those experiencing harassment to feel safe for the duration of the event.

Substitutions (i.e. registration transfers from one person to another) may be made at any time. If you wish to substitute a participant, please contact conference@lmsa.net as soon as possible. The new registrant will be subject to additional fees if the substitution occurs during a registration period other than the registration period that was active when the original registration was made.

NC2022-Specific Provisions
Participants for the 2022 LMSA National Conference (NC2022) are expected to adhere to these Terms & Conditions, as well as any additional rules and regulations set forth by LMSA event organizers, regardless of whether participants participate in NC2022 programming virtually or in person.

All in-person attendees must comply with additional health and safety requirements in place for NC2022. In particular, all in-person attendees must provide proof of vaccination against COVID-19. Attendees are strongly encouraged to upload an image of their Centers of Disease Control & Prevention (CDC) COVID-19 Vaccination Card to their pre-event survey. Alternatively, attendees may provide proof of vaccination at time of check-in.

Universal masking will be required throughout NC2022, unless otherwise directed by federal, state, or local authorities. Symptomatic individuals will not be allowed entry to in-person conference events.

LMSA reserves the right to refuse entry to or remove individuals who do not comply with these requirements. In-person attendees who are removed or refused entry due to failure to adhere to NC2022 health and safety requirements shall NOT receive any refund for event registration fees.

Terms & Conditions specifically for NC2022 Sponsors & Exhibitors can be found in the NC2022 Sponsor & Exhibitor Prospectus.

General
LMSA reserves the right to change, amend, add or remove any of the above Terms & Conditions in its sole discretion and without prior notice. If one or more of the conditions outlined in these Terms & Conditions should become invalid, the remaining conditions will continue to be valid and apply. These Terms & Conditions apply to all event participants (attendees, speakers, sponsors, exhibitors).

Additionally, LMSA reserves the right to make alterations to the conference program and/or timings at any time. In the event of it being found necessary, for whatever reason, to postpone the event, change the event format, or change event dates, neither LMSA nor the event organizers shall be liable for any expenditure, damage or loss incurred by any attendee. If by re-arrangement or postponement the event can take place, the attendee’s registration shall remain in force and will be subject to the cancellation policy above unless otherwise determined by LMSA.

Lastly, the views expressed by any event attendee, speaker, exhibitor, or sponsor are not necessarily those of LMSA. All attendees, speakers, exhibitors, and sponsors are solely responsible for the content of all individual or corporation presentations, marketing collateral, and/or advertising.
