 s and practitioners responsible for professional\, continuing\, and online
  education marketing\, enrollment management\, and student success at coll
 eges and universities around the world. For over 25 years\, the UPCEA conf
 erence has drawn professionals from institutions of all sizes to showcase 
 thought leadership in our field and to explore trends in adult student rec
 ruitment and retention. Designed for both senior leaders and practitioners
 \, the conference offers high level\, strategically-focused presentations 
 as well as sessions which spotlight the tactical components of marketing a
 nd enrollment management in today&rsquo\;s higher education landscape.</sp

 p><strong><span style="font-family: verdana\, sans-serif\;">Affiliated Eve

 "><br />\nThe association has gone to great lengths and expense to negotia
 te and contract for a reduced room rate at conference hotels.&nbsp\;That r
 ate is based upon the projected attendance at the meeting.&nbsp\;If corpor
 ate member and nonmember attendees elect to stay at other hotels\, it subj
 ects the association to attrition penalties that can cause significant fin
 ancial loss to the association.&nbsp\;We count on our corporate community 
 to support the association\, and one of the ways to do that is to honor ou
 r efforts to secure a sufficiently large room block at a reduced rate at a
  first class hotel/conference venue. &nbsp\;&nbsp\; </span></p>\n<p> </p>\
 n<p><span style="font-family: verdana\, sans-serif\;">For these reasons\, 
 corporate member and nonmember attendees are prohibited from holding any m
 eetings (briefings\, seminars\, etc.) within a 25-mile radius\, targeting 
 professional\, continuing\, and online leaders in higher education during 
 the scheduled hours of UPCEA events unless otherwise negotiated and schedu
 led with and by UPCEA. Any such meeting occurring within 36 hours before o
 r after the UPCEA conference must be coordinated with UPCEA and\, space pe
 rmitting\, be held at the conference hotel.&nbsp\; This policy helps ensur
 e that the association&rsquo\;s contracted obligations to the hotel for gu
 est rooms and food and beverage minimums are met\, which is essential for 
 the financial health of the association and its members. If UPCEA cannot f
 ind space for the corporate member or nonmember attendee&rsquo\;s event at
  the contracted hotel\, we will work to help find alternative space.&nbsp\
 ; In no circumstances\, however\, is it permissible for a corporate member
  or nonmember attendee to contract a separate hotel block\, either at the 
 conference hotel or elsewhere.&nbsp\; </span></p>\n<p> </p>\n<p><span styl
 e="font-family: verdana\, sans-serif\;">UPCEA reserves the right to prohib
 it corporate member and nonmember attendees who violate this policy from e
 xhibiting or participating at UPCEA events.</span></p>\n<p> </p>\n<p><stro
