By attending or registering for an IWP event, you signify your agreement to the policy below.
Advance Registration
Attendance at all IWP events requires an RSVP in advance. If you purchased a ticket for an IWP event, these tickets are non-refundable. In addition, prospective attendees must receive an e-mail confirmation from IWP indicating that seating will be available for them at the event. IWP reserves the right to ask for a government-issued ID that matches your name on the confirmed attendee list. Please note that general seating for public events is on a first-come, first serve basis.
Events marked “US Citizens Only”
Only U.S. citizens will be admitted to such an event, and only after each has registered online in advance of the event beginning. The following forms of identification will be considered by IWP as proving citizenship: a valid U.S. Passport, a birth certificate proving birth in the U.S. (plus a photo ID), a U.S. Government issued Common Access Card (a CAC card), or a U.S. Certificate of Naturalization. These documents must be original copies. No exceptions will be made for failure to produce one of these documents.
Respectful Conduct
At both in-person and online events, guests are expected to conduct themselves in a manner that is courteous and respectful to their fellow event attendees and to the speaker. This might include ensuring that questions asked during the event are relevant to the topic at hand, respectful, concise, and asked at the appropriate time.
Recording and Press Coverage
Some IWP lectures are held off the record. Media interested in covering an event may contact events@iwp.edu with inquiries one week in advance of the event. We reserve the right to refuse admission to press.
The use of photographic and/or recording equipment is prohibited except by advanced permission from IWP, the event organizer, and the speaker(s). This policy applies to both in-person event and online events/webinars. Please contact events@iwp.edu with any inquiries. IWP reserves the right to prohibit photographic and/or recording equipment, either in advance of, immediately before, during, or after an event.
Dress Code
The Institute’s dress code requires attire appropriate for a professional setting. This helps to ensure a positive learning environment and a climate conducive to respectful interaction.
