Event background

Did your company or practice implement a travel ban or ban on conference attendance this spring?

Yes No Not sure

Will your company reduce the education funds available for your registration next year? Or, if you pay yourself, do you intend to reduce that spending?

Yes No Undecided

Based on finances alone (assuming no health risk or travel bans), would a potential reduction eliminate the possibility of your attendance?

Yes No Possibly

How likely are you to attend the event?

Very likely Likely Somewhat unlikely Unlikely

How many weeks in advance would you register and book a hotel, knowing the closer to the event you cancel, the smaller the refund?

1–2 weeks 3–4 weeks 1–2 months 3+ months

Since you are somewhat unlikely or unlikely to attend an in-person conference, what factors affect or have led to that decision?

One option is signing up only for the sessions you want in person and watching the rest live from other parts of the hotel or later as recordings for credit. What do you think?

Great idea Acceptable I would rather not No opinion

Another option is eliminating or drastically reducing the exhibit hall and splitting the education area into two sections, which would add $125–$200 to registration. What do you think?
