Important Notices

Please note the following information:

• Based on the experience of past Conferences, we anticipate that Banknote 2009 will be fully subscribed—we suggest that you register early to ensure your attendance at this event as we will not be able to accommodate any registrations once Banknote 2009 has sold out.
• Conference registration does not constitute a hotel reservation. Registrants must make their own arrangements for hotel accommodations. For information on reservations at the Conference venue, the JW Marriott, please visit our Travel & Accommodations page. To take advantage of conference discounted rates, you must register with the JW Marriott by 14 November, 2009.
• Conference registration includes guaranteed admission to: 1) all presentations taking place at the JW Marriott; 2) the Conference exhibit hall; 3) continental breakfasts/coffee breaks taking place at the JW Marriott; 4) luncheons taking place at the JW Marriott; and 5) cocktail receptions taking place at the JW Marriott. On a space-available basis only, Conference registration also includes admission to the various Conference tours (including presentations and catering events scheduled at those locations). Partial refunds will not be provided to registrants who are unable to participate in the Conference tours due to space constraints, security concerns or lack of interest on the part of individual registrants.
• All registration information provided to Banknote 2009 will be kept strictly confidential. Personal security data, such as social security, photographs, or passport numbers, will be used solely to obtain security clearances necessary for various portions of the Conference proceedings.
• Registrants will receive confirmation of their registrations via email or facsimile. Registrants will not receive registration packets in advance of the Conference. Instead, registration packets will be provided during onsite registration.
• For enhanced security purposes, the Conference requires a personal photograph, in .jpg format, to be submitted at the time of registration. If a photograph is not submitted in conjunction with the registration form, registration will not be complete and your attendance can not be guaranteed. Photo requirements are: Resolution 300 dpi in jpg; Dimensions 37mm x 27.75mm (437x327 pixels); Maximum image size: 130KB.

Terms & Conditions

Please review the following Banknote 2009 policies, which constitute the terms and conditions of Conference registration.

• Although rarely exercised, Conference management reserves the right to reject Conference registrations for any reason, including, but not limited to, registrations made by: 1) members of media organizations, lobbying firms or law firms and 2) any other individual or representative of an organization considered to be, at the sole discretion of Conference management, not actively involved in the banknote industry or regulation thereof. Please be advised that mere shareholding in a company involved in the banknote industry is not considered to be active involvement. Notification of rejection will generally be provided within 5 working days after registration. Rejected registrations will be entitled to a full and prompt refund of registration fees. No other reliance damages will be paid.
• Conference management will review for accuracy all selections of the Government Participant and Sponsor Participant registration rates. Registrants selecting these rates may be required to provide verification of their affiliation with a government agency or sponsor organization. Based on its review, Conference management may, in its sole discretion, require registrants to change their rate selection and tender additional registration fees as appropriate. Failure to do so by a registrant will result in registration rejection. Conference management will also make reasonable efforts to review for accuracy all selections of the Industry Participant registration rate and notify such registrants of potential eligibility for the Government Participant or Sponsor Participant registration rates. Refunds of the appropriate amount of registration fees will be provided to all registrants who Conference management determines, in its sole discretion, to have erroneously selected a higher registration rate.
• Registrants must indicate in the appropriate portion of their registration forms their desire to attend one or two of the Conference tours. Registrants so selecting will automatically be placed on the attendee lists for these tours until these tours reach capacity. Subsequent registrants who indicate their desire to attend these tours will be immediately notified of the space constraint and automatically placed on a waiting list. Each registrant will receive a confirmation of tour selection in his/her registration packet. Copies of the tour attendee list and waiting list will also be available on site for review. While on site, registrants who failed to indicate their desire to attend a tour in their registration forms may place their names at the end of the tour waiting list. Please be advised that registrants on the tour attendee list or waiting list may be removed from these lists at any time due to security concerns brought to the attention of Conference management by any federal government agency. Registrants so removed will be promptly notified.
• Conference registration does not guarantee entry into the United States. It is the responsibility of each delegate to obtain the necessary entry documentation. Conference management will assist this process by: 1) registering the Conference on the U.S. Department of State's list of U.S.-based Conferences likely to attract an international audience; and 2) providing a letter addressed to the relevant U.S. embassy/consulate confirming the Conference registration and desired attendance of delegates specifically requesting such a letter. Under no circumstances will Conference management serve as a "sponsor to any delegate – i.e., Conference management will not assume responsibility for any delegate's expenses, lodging or transportation while in the United States, nor make any representations to this effect to the U.S. Government.
• A registrant who cancels his/her registration by 5:00 p.m. EST on Thursday, 1 October, 2009, will be entitled to a prompt refund, less a $200 administrative fee. A registrant who cancels his/her registration after 1 October, 2009 will not be entitled to a refund (full or partial), unless the registrant presents to Conference management another member of his/her organization for registration. If an acceptable replacement delegate is introduced and completes a new Conference registration form, then the cancelled registrant's payment will be applied as credit toward this replacement registration. After 1 November, 2009, 50% of the cancelled registrant's payment will be applied as credit toward another member of his/her organization as a replacement registration and the replacing registrant will be responsible for payment of the balance. After 15 November 2009, no transfers or refunds will be accommodated.
• Although rarely exercised, Conference management reserves the right to eject any registrant from the Conference for posing what Conference management determines to be, at its sole discretion, a sufficiently serious security threat. Ejected registrants may be entitled to a full refund of registration fees. No other reliance damages will be paid.
