Terms and Conditions of Attendance and Participation 

These are the terms (the “Agreement”) governing your attendance at and participation in any ConnectWise, LLC event (the “Event” or the “ConnectWise Events”).

By registering for the Event you agree to this Agreement, which form a binding legal contract between ConnectWise, LLC (“ConnectWise”) and the registered attendee or participant (“you”). If you are registering on behalf of another individual, it is your responsibility to ensure the person attending is aware of these terms and accepts them. By completing the registration on behalf of another individual you are warranting that you have made the attendee or participant aware of these terms and that they have accepted these terms.

1. Attendee Requirements

1.1 Admittance. Your registration entitles you to admittance to the Event for which you have registered. Any and all other costs associated with your attendance (including without limitation travel and accommodation expenses) shall be borne solely by you, and ConnectWise shall have no liability for such costs.

1.2 Use of Likeness. By attending the Event you acknowledge and agree to grant ConnectWise the right at the Event to record, film, photograph, or capture your likeness in any media now available or hereafter developed and to distribute, broadcast, use, or otherwise globally to disseminate, in perpetuity, such media without any further approval from you or any payment to you. This grant to ConnectWise includes, but is not limited to, the right to edit such media, the right to use the media alone or together with other information, and the right to allow others to use or disseminate the media.

1.3 Event Content. You acknowledge and agree that ConnectWise, in its sole discretion, reserves the right to change any and all aspects of the Event, including but not limited to, the Event name, themes, content, program, speakers, performers, hosts, moderators, venue, and time.

1.4 Age Requirements. No one under the age of 21, including children in strollers accompanying their parents, will be admitted.

1.5 Identification. All attendees must provide two forms of identification: one government-issued photo ID and one document proving their affiliation with the company name appearing on their registration (pay stub, business card, etc.).

1.6 Visa Requirements. It is the sole responsibility of the attendee to take care of any government visa requirements. Attendees who require an entry visa should allow sufficient time for the application procedure. Attendees should contact the nearest embassy or consulate to determine the appropriate timing of their visa applications. ConnectWise will not contact embassies and consulates on behalf of visa applicants or provide any other assistance relating to visa issues. Failure to obtain a visa in advance of an Event does not constitute a valid basis for obtaining a refund.

2. Prohibited Conduct

2.1 Limitations on Use. By registering for a complimentary ConnectWise Events pass you agree not to sell, trade, transfer, or share your complimentary code or badge. By registering for a paid ConnectWise Event Pass, you agree not to share, sell or trade your badge. You may be required to identify whether you are a Managed Service Provider (MSP) or vendor at registration. You agree to register for the correct Event pass upon your registration for the Event. In the event that ConnectWise determines that you have violated this policy, ConnectWise may charge you the fees for the difference between the fees for the correct badges or cancel your badge(s), retain any payments made by you, report you to law enforcement authorities, and ban you from future ConnectWise Events.

2.3 Badge Misuse. Attendees wearing badges from previous ConnectWise Events or falsified badges and/or sharing or swapping badges will be immediately ejected from the Event and banned from future Events.

If such conduct is discovered after an Event, violators will be invoiced according to onsite registration pricing and will be required to pay their invoice in full.

2.4 Suitcasing. “Suitcasing” refers to the practice of attending a trade show but “working the aisles” from a suitcase or briefcase, soliciting business from other attendees and exhibitors. For the good of the show and the exhibitors supporting the show, the only legitimate place to conduct business during show hours is within a contracted exhibit space on the show floor. Exhibiting companies are encouraged to protect their investment and report any violations to ConnectWise management. Attendees observed soliciting business in the aisles or other public spaces, or in another company’s booth, will be ejected from the Event and may be banned from future events in ConnectWise’s sole discretion.
