What happens if the event is cancelled due to the pandemic?
We do not anticipate that the event will be cancelled outright. If the government (national or local) prevents our event from taking place, we will first attempt to reschedule the convention for a later date and your registration fees will be carried over to the new event. In the unlikely event that we must completely cancel due to the pandemic, we will issue refunds minus a small staffing and processing fee of 8%.
Are there going to be meals served?
Yes. A breakfast buffet will be served on Saturday and Sunday morning, and a lunch buffet on Saturday. Kosher meals will be an option. Additionally, there will be snacks and drinks served throughout the sessions and drinks and passed hors d'oeuvres at the networking receptions.
Is this event officially sanctioned by AEPi?
No. This event is being organized and hosted by AEPBN, LLC.
Will there be a virtual option?
At this point, we are not planning to have a virtual option, but this could change depending on the state of the pandemic and people’s willingness to travel. If you are interested in attending a virtual option, please email loren@aepbn.com.
Will there be kosher food?
Yes! Kosher options will be available.
What does the registration price cover?
Your registration price covers the use of the space itself, meals served, a discounted hotel room block, gift bag at registration, breakfast served both days, lunch on Saturday, attendance at all breakout and main sessions, drinks and snacks throughout the convention, drinks for both networking receptions, and passed hors d'oeuvres at both networking receptions.
