Event Conduct Policies
Identification and Access
Virtual Events
It is the responsibility of the registrant to ensure that their name in the virtual event platform (Zoom, GoToWebinar, etc.) matches the name that was used to register for the event. NASW-MN can only provide CEUs to those whose names are on our registration list and who were present during the live event.
If we cannot identify you during a virtual event, we will send you a chat message in the event platform asking you to identify yourself. It is your responsibility to respond in a timely manner. Failure or inability to respond may result in your forfeiture of the CEU certificate and/or removal from the event.
We are not responsible for attendees whose names do not match our registration list due to user error or inability to respond. Always check your system and device’s compatibility with the virtual platform prior to attending a virtual event.
In-person Events
All registrants must sign their name on the sign-in sheet at the check-in area to be permitted to enter the training area. If your name is not on the registration list, you may register and make payment at the check-in area to enter the training. You will not be permitted to enter without having registered and made payment in full.
Removal
NASW-MN strives to create events and experiences that are safe and accessible. Attendees may be removed from NASW-MN virtual and in-person events for any reason, including but not limited to inability or refusal to identify oneself, and inappropriate, unethical, or harmful behavior.
