Name Badge Policy
Admission to this meeting is only granted to registered attendees. For security reasons, name badges must be worn to all AAFPRS Foundation events, including but not limited to, education sessions, hands-on labs, workshops, social/networking events, and the Exhibit Hall. When in the meeting space, please wear your badge so that it is visible at all times.
- False certification of individuals as paid AAFPRS meeting attendees, sharing or misuse of name badges, login credentials, presentation links, or any method of assisting unauthorized persons to gain access to any AAFPRS Foundation event is strictly prohibited and is just cause for the AAFPRS Foundation to revoke badges and/or access to the meeting for any individuals involved, with no obligation to refund registration fees paid.
- Lost badges should be reported to the Registration staff.
- For safety reasons, please remove your badge when you are outside of AAFPRS’ meeting and facilities or when venturing out into the local area.
Badge Scanning
Your name badge has a QR code that contains your contact information, including your email address. You may present your badge to be scanned by exhibitors so that they may provide you with information on their products or services. By giving an exhibitor your badge to scan you are giving them consent to contact you. It is your decision whether to present your badge for scanning. Once you have shared your information with an exhibitor, its use will be governed by that company’s privacy policies.
