EEBA Conference Policies and Procedures

Fee Policy

The EEBA organization awards a full-conference registration to each presenter in recognition of their participation. It is the policy of the conference that no presenter receives an honorarium. In some cases, a presenter can only attend the conference if his/her expenses are paid. EEBA will evaluate such a request on an individual basis.

Conflict of Interest Policy

The Excellence in Building Conference has maintained the high standard for providing quality building science education to attendees. When surveyed, our attendees tell us they appreciate that the sessions are based on sound educational learning principles and do not reflect the sales or marketing of products or services. When agreeing to participate as a presenter at an EEBA Conference, you agree to maintain this level of quality by providing impartial, product neutral information. If you have any questions related to this policy, please contact the conference coordinator at dona@eeba.org.
