Question: Why am I not getting the correct rate when registering?
Answer: Your membership may be listed under a different email address than the one you are trying to use to register. Check and make sure that you are using the same email address for both. Please note that newly-registered members will not reflect the members-only pricing for up to 3 business days after their registration with IAMSE. You may also choose to join IAMSE during your event registration for only $100.00.
Question: Why do I have to pre-register for sessions?
Answer: We ask that you pre-register for sessions to allow presenters to have an accurate headcount for their sessions. Many presenters tailor their sessions for the amount of registered attendees. It also ensures that they will have sufficient materials.
Question: Can I switch sessions after I’ve registered?
Answer: Yes, you can switch sessions after you have registered. To modify your registration, please click the "Change Existing Registration" button at the bottom of any conference website page to log in. You will need to enter your email address and password you set up during registration to modify your registration. If you do not remember your registration password, please Reset your password here.
Question: I can only attend part of the conference – do I still have to pay for the whole conference?
Answer: Yes, you must pay the full registration fee even if you can only attend part of the day.
Question: What’s the cancellation policy?
Answer: Your registration fee, less a $100 US administrative fee, will be refunded when the IAMSE Office receives written notification before April 15, 2021. Substitutions can be made. No refunds will be made after May 1, 2021.
Question: How do I obtain my receipt?

Answer: You will not have the ability to turn your camera on or unmute yourself during the main sessions. The annual business meeting will have the ability for you to turn your camera on, however. That being said, we'll be taking all questions and conversation from the chat box. Leaving your video off may help not only your connection, but make the session run more smoothly for everyone.
Question: My friend / colleague / boss wants to join. Can I share my link?
Answer: While we'd love to have them, they will need to register for the event in order to access the session, even if you share the link directly. The virtual conference is open to anyone, so feel free to have them register here.
Question: There's a session I wanted to attend that's not on my agenda. How do I access it?

Question: Will the sessions be recorded?
Answer: We'll be recording all plenary sessions. The recordings of the sessions will be available online for 60 days after the conclusion of the virtual conference. Unfortunately, due to limitations within Zoom, we're not able to record focus sessions at this time.
