Q: Are the NYEW sessions handicapped accessible?
A: Please contact each specific venue that is holding a NYEW or NYEW partner event.

Q: Why do you insist that participants wear name badges?
A: It’s in response to the free rider problem.  We must try to minimize this problem as revenue is what pays for the top-tier content NYEW is able to produce for the community.

Q:What is the cancellation policy?
A: Cancellations made up to fourteen days before the conference will receive a full refund. For cancellations received less than one week before and up to the day before the conference, a $25 cancellation fee will apply. No refunds are given for cancellations
received after the conference has begun.

Q: Can a substitution be made?
A: Unfortunately due to the volume of attendees expected, we are unable to honor substitutions at this time.

Q: How should I dress?
A: Large event space can be very chilly or, conversely, overheated. We have limited or no control over the facility’s climate. Because temperatures may vary, we suggest you dress in layers and come prepared for both a cool or warm room.
