Affiliated Events Policy
The association has gone to great lengths and expense to negotiate and contract for a reduced room rate at conference hotels. That rate is based upon the projected attendance at the meeting. If corporate member and nonmember attendees elect to stay at other hotels, it subjects the association to attrition penalties that can cause significant financial loss to the association. We count on our corporate community to support the association, and one of the ways to do that is to honor our efforts to secure a sufficiently large room block at a reduced rate at a first class hotel/conference venue.   

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 info@upcea.edu.

UPCEA Event Behavior Policy
UPCEA is dedicated to ensuring that its events and activities provide a safe, respectful, and inclusive experience for all attendees, including UPCEA staff, members and their representatives, volunteers, sponsors, partners, and exhibitors (“Participants”). With that goal in mind, UPCEA expects that those who attend and participate in a UPCEA event, whether in person, virtually, or online do so in a manner that is positive, and which contributes to the overall experience.

UPCEA has established this Participant event policy to ensure that all who attend or participate in a UPCEA event understand what behavior is expected, and what behavior will not be permitted. UPCEA expects all Participants to conform their behavior at UPCEA events in accordance with this policy. This includes event-related social events at off-site locations, and in related online communities and social media. Read our full UPCEA Event Behavior Policy.
