Non-Discrimination Statement

As outlined in ASCE’s governing documents, ASCE functions and activities are intended to foster the expression and exchange of engineering ideas by all members, regardless of gender, race, ethnic origin, religion, age, marital status, sexual orientation, disabilities, or any other reason not related to scientific or technical merit.

ADA Compliance/ Special Concessions

If you require special assistance at the conference, please submit a written description of your requirements with your registration form or email [email protected] no later than Monday, October 5, 2020. While ASCE/EWRI will make every effort to meet your needs, accommodations cannot be guaranteed without notification by the deadline.

Access Link

You will receive a unique link to access the virtual conference platform via email or calendar appointment at least 48 hours prior to the conference start time. If you do not receive your link, please check your spam folder before contacting [email protected] for assistance.

Attire

Be as comfortable as you like, and take advantage of the "online dress code."

Professional Development Hours (PDHs)

By attending certain conference sessions, technical tours, and seminars, you may earn PDHs, which are nationally recognized units of record. Please note there are differences from state to state in continuing education requirements for professional engineering licensure. Each state licensing board has the final authority to approve courses, credits, PDHs, and other methods of earning credits in that state. ASCE/EWRI strongly recommends that individuals regularly check with their state licensing boards for specific continuing education requirements in their jurisdictions that affect professional engineering licensure and the ability to renew licensure.

Professional Development Hours are available to all attendees who participate in the live contents educational sessions. This does not include video-on-demand content or any non-educational sessions (ie. award lectures). An access link to claim your PDHs will be sent post-conference.

Cancellations/Refunds

Cancellations must be sent in writing or via e-mail. All refunds are provided on a case-by-case basis and are reviewed 30 days post-conference.

Program and Session Cancellation

ASCE/EWRI reserves the right to cancel programs and/or sessions. Programs and sessions are subject to change, and ASCE/EWRI reserves the right to substitute a program, session and/or speaker of equal caliber to fulfill the educational requirements

Connection Troubleshooting

Most connection issues are because of VPN and/or Firewall issues. We recommend entering the virtual platform prior to the start of the conference to test your computer settings. Speakers should also test their camera compatibility in their designated virtual presentation room. Any attendees with connection issues should immediately contact Vision Creative's help desk at [email protected].

Companies and government agencies typically manage employee internet access with VPNs and Firewalls. Your company may have security settings in place that could block the CONVENETM Virtual Conferencing Platform.
