Health & Safety
By registering for this event, you agree to abide by the host hotel's, local, state, and UPCEA's health and safety guidelines in effect as of the conference dates.
UPCEA recommends for those that choose to do so, be up to date on their vaccinations, and wear a properly fitting face mask during UPCEA events at all public indoor spaces. Conference attendees are reminded to be respectful of individual choices made by fellow attendees, UPCEA staff, and others at the conference. These guidelines are subject to change at any point, and attendees will be notified if any additional requirements are implemented.
Waiver
COVID-19 has been declared a global pandemic by the World Health Organization and is extremely contagious. UPCEA cannot guarantee that attendees will not become infected with COVID-19 as a result of participation in the conference. By registering for the conference, I:
acknowledge the contagious nature of COVID-19;
voluntarily assume the risk that I may be exposed to or infected by COVID-19 by attending UPCEA events which exposure or infection may come from the actions, omissions, or negligence of myself and others, including, but not limited to, UPCEA employees, volunteers, and program participants and their families;
acknowledge that such exposure or infection may result in personal injury, illness, permanent disability, and death; and
hereby release, covenant not to sue, discharge, and hold harmless UPCEA, its employees, agents, and representatives, of and from any injury to me resulting from being exposed to or infected by COVID-19 in connection with my attendance at UPCEA events (including claims based on the actions, omissions, or negligence of UPCEA, its employees, agents, and representatives).
For these reasons, corporate member and nonmember attendees are prohibited from holding any meetings (briefings, seminars, etc.) within a 25-mile radius, targeting professional, continuing, and online leaders in higher education during the scheduled hours of UPCEA events unless otherwise negotiated and scheduled with and by UPCEA. Any such meeting occurring within 36 hours before or after the UPCEA conference must be coordinated with UPCEA and, space permitting, be held at the conference hotel. This policy helps ensure that the association’s contracted obligations to the hotel for guest rooms and food and beverage minimums are met, which is essential for the financial health of the association and its members. If UPCEA cannot find space for the corporate member or nonmember attendee’s event at the contracted hotel, we will work to help find alternative space. In no circumstances, however, is it permissible for a corporate member or nonmember attendee to contract a separate hotel block, either at the conference hotel or elsewhere.
UPCEA reserves the right to prohibit corporate member and nonmember attendees who violate this policy from exhibiting or participating at UPCEA events.
If you encounter any errors or need assistance with your registration, please contact us at 202-659-3130 or jromero@upcea.edu.
Media Registration for UPCEA Conferences
Qualified members of the media are encouraged to register for complimentary press passes to UPCEA events. Every press pass application is evaluated independently for each event, regardless of prior event attendance. Press credentials are not transferable. Read more.
UPCEA calls on all members and member institutions to assume personal and institutional responsibility for the recognition and elimination of inequity and barriers to member engagement or success.
UPCEA events typically include both organized and organic networking opportunities of various sizes. These activities are not required and UPCEA encourages attendees to participate in the way they feel most comfortable.
UPCEA events are an opportunity to invest in your own professional growth. Unfortunately, personal and professional distractions and scheduling conflicts may occur. Attendees are encouraged to reserve time on their calendars for conference sessions and access session materials when available.
UPCEA encourages all to respect the value of diversity.
UPCEA conferences will be spaces where diversity, equity, access, and inclusion are fundamentally reflected not only across sessions, but also through the companies we partner with to sponsor and host these important gatherings.
UPCEA is committed to cultivating a professional community space in which members of all races, ethnicities, orientations, gender identities, abilities, and backgrounds, and the institutions they serve, feel welcome, heard, and valued.
UPCEA institutional and individual members participating in our conferences reflect a rich tapestry of viewpoints, values, talents, and experiences. It is expected that participants will demonstrate, in words and actions, an openness to considering differences in perspectives shared during presentations and discussions.
As a committed body of diverse members, UPCEA pledges to forever strive for inclusive excellence as we serve as an essential industry resource.
Conferences and its attendees create an environment that enables inclusive excellence in all forms.
Presenters strive to address diversity, equity, and inclusion in purposeful and relevant ways in their presentation and to facilitate respectful discussion among participants.
Participants will listen with the intent to understand, think broadly, lean into discomfort, and engage in respectful dialogue with thoughtful regard for the challenges and opportunities encountered during the pursuit of diversity, equity, access, and inclusion in professional, continuing, and online education
