FAQs

Who attends PBSA conferences?

Attendees include CEOs, compliance officers, managers, general counsel and other employees representing a range of small to large firms. Companies and organizations who offer services and products to the screening profession are in attendance.

 

How can I communicate the value of the conference to my employer?

To help you generate support for your participation we've crafted a sample "Request to Attend" letter that you can customize to fit your situation. Take a few minutes to review the schedule, sessions, and confirmed exhibitors. Then, customize the sections in the letter highlighted in yellow to reflect your individual costs and how the conference can best serve you and your company. No two companies are quite the same, so feel free to customize the letter as much or as little as needed to best make your case.

 

Will session handouts and presentations be available prior to the conference?

Most session handouts and presentations will be made available prior to the conference on the website.

PBSA is not responsible for weather-related cancellations, airfare, hotel or other costs that are associated with the conference if the registrant is unable to attend.

PBSA reserves the right to cancel any event. In the event PBSA cancels the event, registrants will receive a full refund. PBSA further reserves the right to substitute event content, format, presenters and the like, no refund of any kind will be provided to registrants.
