AMAC Terms, Conditions & Policies

Last Updated 07/26/2023

Membership

  • AMAC reserves the right to refuse/cancel any membership.
  • A refund—less a $50 processing fee—is permitted within 7 days of purchasing a membership; any cancellation requests after this period are not eligible for a refund.
  • A Member Exit Survey will need to be completed as a last step for cancellation.
  • Cancellation of an AMAC Chapter Membership does not constitute cancellation of an AMAC National Membership.

Events

Registration, sponsorship, exhibit and advertising opportunities are confirmed on a first-come, first-assigned basis in accordance with the following items, conditions and regulations governing commercial support of AMAC events. When the registration, sponsorship, exhibit or advertising form is accepted by AMAC, it becomes a contract.

Anti-Harassment

AMAC is dedicated to providing a harassment-free conference experience for everyone regardless of gender, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, age or religion. We do not tolerate harassment of participants in any form. Sexual conduct, language or imagery is not appropriate for any AMAC events. Participants violating these rules may be sanctioned or expelled without a refund at the event organizers' discretion. For the avoidance of doubt, harassment includes, but is not limited to:

  • Verbal comments that reinforce social structures of domination [related to gender, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, age and religion]
  • Sexual images in public spaces
  • Deliberate intimidation, stalking or following
  • Harassing photography or recording
  • Sustained disruption of talks or other events
  • Inappropriate physical contact
  • Unwelcome sexual attention
  • Advocating for or encouraging any of the above behavior

If someone makes you or anyone else feel unsafe or unwelcome, please report it as soon as possible to the AMAC National Office at info@amac-org.com

Beverage Consumption

All AMAC-sponsored receptions offer alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. Alcohol will not be served to any person under the age of 21. If you choose to consume alcohol, please drink responsibly. 

Hotel

AMAC hotel reservation links are provided to registered attendees only via your registration confirmation email. Room reservations with the AMAC hotel block are subject to cancellation if not registered for the AMAC event.

Photo/Video

By registering and participating in AMAC events, you consent to record your likeness, image and/or voice and authorize AMAC/any AMAC duly authorized vendor to use photographs, video and audio recordings containing your likeness, image and/or voice in any medium for any purpose.

Registration Cancellation/Refund

All registration fees must be paid before the event. Failure to make the required payment on time may result in AMAC terminating the registration. Cancellations will be charged a processing fee [the fee varies per event] regardless of when they are received. Cancellations will be accepted until [date to be identified per event]. No refunds will be made after this date. Conference registration cancellations must be in writing to events@amac-org.com. All requests for cancellations must be accompanied by payment information and/or a copy of the official purchase confirmation.

Registration Transfers

Paid registrations may be transferred to another individual at your organization if you notify AMAC in writing. Send transfers and substitutions via email to events@amac-org.com. Please include the name, title, company and email of the original registrant as well as the new colleague who will be using the registration. Registrations may be transferred to future AMAC events.
