Volunteers agree to complete their entire volunteer commitment on either one full day or two half days during the conference. In exchange you attend the rest of the conference program for the reduced registration fee. Individuals who register as volunteers but who do not attend the conference or fulfill their volunteer assignment will not be eligible for a refund of any portion of their registration fee, and your application indicates your acknowledgement of and your agreement to this policy.

Volunteers will be responsible for all hotel room, transportation and food expenses incurred in traveling to and from the conference, and during the event.
