Licensing Self-Study

- Not otherwise conduct themselves in a disruptive manner.
Any person found to be violating this policy may be dismissed from the event and barred from future events. No refunds.
No Solicitation Policy
IA&B has a no-solicitation policy covering all of our events. In order to provide a distraction-free environment for our attendees and any exhibitors, sponsors, and employees, we do not allow solicitation at our events by attendees or unauthorized parties without the express written permission of IA&B. This policy includes, but is not limited to, the following activities:
- Unauthorized membership recruitment activities
- Unauthorized employment recruiting
- Unauthorized promotion of non-IA&B events
- Unauthorized exhibits
- Unauthorized on-site distribution of printed or electronic materials, including literature, signs, flyers, invitations, tickets, forms, etc. (except business cards)
Egregious and/or multiple violations of this policy may result in dismissal from the event, without refund, or disqualification from future events at the discretion of IA&B.
Any attendee of an IA&B event who feels that they are being solicited in any of the ways explained above should report such conduct immediately to an IA&B staff person, the event assistant, or the instructor.
