Thank you for your patience and understanding while we have worked to make arrangements concerning the threatening weather.
With so many of our conference registrants traveling from throughout and outside the state of New Jersey, our chief concern is encouraging everyone to examine and evaluate the weather in your individual location before traveling anywhere tonight or tomorrow.
Whether or not the conference will continue to be held will be determined by Rutgers University officials. If the New Brunswick Campus is closed, the conference is cancelled.
If the New Brunswick Campus remains open the morning of the conference, the conference will run as scheduled and no refunds will be issued to registrants who fail to attend.
If Rutgers University cancels the conference for any reason (weather or otherwise), we will reschedule the conference and automatically re-register all current registrants. The new conference date will be communicated to you via email within a week. Any valid registrants who are notable to attend the rescheduled conference will be issued a refund minus a $20 administrative fee.
