What should I wear to an event?

NACE events are set in a relaxed, professional atmosphere. Attire is business casual. Meeting room temperatures can be cool and the climate may vary, so it is recommended that you wear layered clothing for comfort.

I cannot attend, but my colleague can. What do I do?

You can transfer your registration to a colleague by following these steps:

  • Submit your request in writing to events@naceweb.org at least 10 business days before the program’s scheduled start date.
  • Include your registration confirmation with your written request.

Only one transfer is allowed per original registration.
(Please note: NACE reserves the right to deny substitution requests, in advance or on site.)

I need to cancel my registration for a NACE event or educational program. Can I get my money back?

For most NACE events and educational programs*, a full refund will be granted if you cancel at least 10 business days prior to the start of the event/educational program. Your request must be made in writing and sent to events@naceweb.org.

Cancellation requests made less than 10 business days prior to the start of the event/program are not refundable. In the event of extenuating circumstances and upon review from NACE leadership, a decision will be made regarding if a refund/credit is applicable. (credit to be used within one year of issue).

What meals are included in my registration?

As a NACE member, do I save any money on my registration?

My boss is a NACE member. Can I attend at the member rate, too?

You must have your own membership to receive the member rate. For details about membership, see our website.

My colleague has registered for a webinar, may I login as well?
