4. Policy on Vendor Participation

To attend, all vendors must purchase a vendor ticket to ensure compliance with the conference’s attendance policies.

Important Note for Vendors Attempting to Purchase Practitioner Tickets:

• • Vendor purchases of AFC practitioner tickets will not be honored.

We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in ensuring this event remains a focused and meaningful platform for AFC practitioners.
