All registered Attendees agree to allow eClinicalWorks to contact them regarding their registration and attendance at the event. By registering for the Event, you agree to allow eClinicalWorks to communicate with you via email with information regarding the event. While eClinicalWorks recommends COVID-19 vaccines for all Attendees and exhibitors, eClinicalWorks is committed to following all federal and state laws at the Event. As such, while vaccines will not be required to attend the Event, eClinicalWorks requests that you monitor your health and do not attend if you feel unwell.

Attendees agree to take necessary precautions while at the event, including, but not limited to, personal hygiene and hand sanitization, adherence to pathway signage, and self-monitoring and self-reporting.
