A Reminder to All #AWP16 Attendees

March 21, 2016

The AWP Board of Trustees and Staff are looking forward to seeing everyone in Los Angeles in a few weeks for the most inclusive literary event in the United States. We’re happy to report the upcoming Conference & Bookfair will be among the largest in AWP’s history. We’re looking forward to all the literary fun and discussions. We would also like to take a moment to remind everyone that they must abide by the Attendee Terms & Conditions, and specifically "all attendees of the Conference have the right to enjoy the Conference equally. Illegal or disruptive behavior that interferes with the conduct of reasonable business at the Conference, or any other attendee’s safety or comfort, including behavior that impedes or prevents accessibility services or requests, behavior that discriminates based on age, disability, race, ethnicity, gender, religion, political or institutional affiliation, or sexual orientation, and harassment of any kind, is strictly prohibited and may result in the Attendee being removed from the Conference and barred from returning without refund of the Attendee’s registration fee. Such violations may be reported to legal authorities.”
 
Please help us ensure an enjoyable and safe conference for everyone, and report behavior that violates these terms to AWP staff at the Help Desks and the Accessibility Desk in registration, or by emailing Hannah Landsberger, AWP Events Coordinator, at events@awpwriter.org.
