While STN is taking extra precaution and preventive measures consistent with CDC guidelines, STN cannot prevent participants from becoming exposed to, contracting, or spreading COVID-19 while attending its conference and trade show. It is not possible to prevent against the presence of the disease.

Non-refundable Registration Service Fee 
This fee is charged based on a registration fee charged by Cvent, per registration submitted through its online registration platform. Cvent, the third-party registration platform used by STN events charges a fee per registration, regardless of registration status (attending or cancelled). This is not a fee charged based on payment methods.
