Registered attendees of #SEJ2023 have exclusive access to our event on the conference app, Whova, which provides a great way to connect with other attendees. To get started, download the Whova app and use the email address you registered with to sign up. If needed, the invite code was sent to you in your registration confirmation email. Once logged in, click the Attendee tab to see who else is coming to Boise. Click on a profile, then “message” to reach out to someone directly.

ACCESSIBILITY ASSISTANCE
To ask questions about accessibility or request accommodations (e.g., mobility assistance, sign language interpreters, alternative formats), please email sej@sej.org. At least three weeks’ advance notice will help us to provide seamless access.
SPECIAL-DIET MEALS
Please be aware that if you register after March 15, it’s likely that special-diet meals will not be available.
All catering is arranged in advance, with final catering numbers given to the hotel at least seven days before the event so the hotel can order the necessary food. We always order extra special-diet meals, but these are given out on a first-come first-served basis. If you have severe restrictions and are registering after March 15, please email sej@sej.org.
SEJ will make every effort to accommodate special dietary needs. However, we can’t guarantee that your needs will be met for every meal. Please approach all meals with your usual caution.

If you cancel your registration in writing to sej@sej.org by March 15, you’ll receive a full refund. After March 15, you’ll receive 50% back until April 3. No refunds after April 3. Nonattendance does not constitute cancellation. Substitutions may be made. Attendees who fail to abide by SEJ’s COVID-19 Protocols will not be eligible for a refund. If you receive a positive COVID-19 test within 10 days of the conference, you should not attend #SEJ2023 and a full refund will be provided. Please email sej@sej.org.
