GENERAL INFORMATION
Special Assistance
CNAM offers limited accessibility to the disabled. If you require special assistance at the conference, please submit a written description of your requirements to lking@asce.org BEFORE September 4, 2013. While ASCE will make every effort to meet the needs of the disabled, accommodations cannot be guaranteed without prior notification.
Attendee Packets
Early-bird and Advance registrants will receive their name badges and any tickets ordered at the Conference Registration Desk during registration hours. Early-bird and Advance registrants should present the official registration receipt to on-site registration staff to obtain conference materials. If you submit a registration form via fax or postal mail one week prior to or after the registration cut-off date, please be sure to bring a copy of your fax or postal confirmation (as well as your email confirmation if you have received one), along with the original registration form paperwork to ensure on-site registration staff can process your registration. Due to the time constraints near and after the registration cut-off date, the appropriate paperwork may not have been forwarded to the on-site staff before their departure.
Attire
The dress code for the Conference is business casual (i.e. slacks, casual dresses) to business attire (i.e. neckties, business suits). Meeting room temperatures will vary, so wear layered clothing to ensure your personal comfort. We also recommend attendees wear comfortable shoes. Please note that certain events may have specific details on attire, and you should refer to the event for more information.
Badge Policy and Ribbons
Your Conference registration name badge is your admission to the educational sessions. Please wear your badge at all times while in CNAM. Tickets are required for the pre- and post-conference events, meals, and special events. Where tickets are required, please be sure to bring your tickets with you to each event as you will not be admitted without a ticket. Ribbons will be available at the Registration desk. ASCE recommends you remove your badge when leaving your hotel and CNAM.

Meeting Room Overcrowding
ASCE will make every effort to schedule popular events in rooms large enough to accommodate anticipated attendance. Since many events are extremely popular, it is wise to select alternative events as you plan your conference schedule. ASCE and CNAM are REQUIRED to follow local fire regulations and may ask participants in rooms filled to capacity to choose another event.
Post-Conference Evaluation
An electronic evaluation will be sent out immediately after the Conference to all attendees. Watch your e-mail for more information!
