The conference is a forum for professional and educational discussion and information sharing. Please be accepting of others who may have different points of view from yours, without focusing or commenting on anyone's personal characteristics that might be different from yours. EMA does not tolerate hateful, offensive, or bigoted comments. Comments, statements, and content that relate in any way to any person’s personal or physical characteristics or race, gender, gender identity, sex, sexual orientation, nationality, ethnicity, disability, or political affiliations have no place and may result in removal from the annual conference.
Respect others. Focus on the content of posts and not on the people making them. Please extend the benefit of the doubt to newer participants; there’s no such thing as a stupid question.
All false, misleading, defamatory, abusive, profane, threatening, offensive, or illegal materials are strictly prohibited. Do not post anything that you would not want the world to see or that you would not want anyone to know came from you. If you have any questions or a concern about a conference participant, please contact members@enrollment.org.
