Event Policies

Code of Conduct
We endeavor to provide a congenial, hospitable and welcoming environment where collateral risk professionals, both nationally and internationally, can meet to exchange ideas and information. For us to maintain this unique environment, we expect our attendees, visitors and guests will comply with this set of guidelines.

Attendees, visitors and guests are required to comply with this code of conduct designed to provide an appropriate atmosphere for discussion, to ensure the effective operation of meetings and the security and safety of attendees and the resources which it supports.

• Failure to comply may result in the temporary or permanent revocation of event pass.
• In this code of conduct, the term "attendee" also includes speakers, visitors and guests unless otherwise specified.

General Conduct

• Behavior that disrupts and interferes with the orderly function of the meeting/event or disturbs, harasses, or distresses other users or staff will not be tolerated. Aggressive, threatening, abusive, discriminatory or harassing language or conduct of any kind is not permitted.
• Attendees are to be courteous to presenters and others during meetings, networking events and social gatherings.
• Attendees shall refrain from engaging on behalf of the CRN without specific permission from the CRN.
• Attendees are responsible for the security of their private property during meetings/events.  The CRN is not liable for any items left unattended, lost or stolen.
• As we engage in discussions, and in line with federal and state laws, we do not discuss or promote actions that relate to pricing services to customer agreements to reduce or increase prices or promote prohibited boycotts. If anyone feels that a discussion raises concerns about unified action related to pricing or other prohibited practices, you should immediately request that the meeting or discussion be suspended until you can seek guidance and legal advice.
• Please be respectful of our sponsors. You may not host events without being a sponsor and permission from the CRN. It is not appropriate to ask to bring non-registered employees or guests to hosted events.
