If you feel that The Financial Brand and/or our conference sponsors are not abiding by this privacy policy, you should contact us immediately.

The Financial Brand Forum’s Code of Conduct outlines expectations for all participants at the event, including attendees, speakers, conference staff, sponsors and exhibitors. Registration for the conference is considered an expressed agreement to abide by this code of conduct. Similarly, anyone wearing a Financial Brand Forum conference badge is agreeing to abide by this code of conduct.

Whenever conference participants engage with others (including hotel staff) online, in person, and in the mobile app, they agree they will:

• Maintain a respectful, considerate, and courteous attitude;
• Secure their belongings and be mindful of their surroundings to ensure their safety;
• Not harass anyone (physically, emotionally, sexually, or otherwise);
• Not badger, abuse, or demean others;
• Not threaten others, nor engage in acts of aggression or violence of any kind;
• Not carry any weapons of any kind;
• Not engage in lewd or obscene behavior, nor make lewd or obscene comments;
• Not engage in any acts of discrimination, bigotry, or hate speech;
• Not record, broadcast or livestream any speaker, session or presentation without prior express permission from The Financial Brand;
• Not sell or promote their company’s products or services unless they are an official sponsor of the Forum conference.

Unacceptable behavior includes (but is not limited to) unwanted verbal attention, unwanted touching, intimidation, stalking, shaming, or bullying. Harassment presented in a joking manner is still harassment and constitutes unacceptable behavior. Retaliation for reporting harassment is also unacceptable, as is reporting an incident in bad faith. Discrimination on the basis of gender or gender identity, sexual orientation, age, disability, physical appearance, race, religion, national origin, or ethnicity will not be tolerated.

Reporting Code of Conduct Violations. If you are impacted by- or witness anyone failing to adhere to this code of conduct, please contact a member of The Financial Brand Forum conference team immediately. If you find yourself in a situation that is concerning or could be dangerous, please notify Forum staff or Aria security immediately. In the event of an emergency, please contact local authorities immediately utilizing 911.

Please report any situation that is not in compliance with these polices to The Financial Brand Forum conference team. You can call the Forum Attendee Concierge at (206) 661-5070. If the matter is not urgent, you also have the option to send an email to either hello@thefinancialbrand.com or events@thefinancialbrand.com.

Consequences of Violating the Code of Conduct. Unacceptable behavior will not be tolerated. The Financial Brand reserves the right to escort any individual from the conference who is not complying with this code of conduct. Violators may be permanently expelled from the conference, and have their conference badge revoked. Violators may also be banned from registering or attending future conferences hosted by The Financial Brand, its partners, and/or Forum sponsors. Furthermore, anyone who may be engaging in criminal behavior or behavior that creates a hostile environment for attendees may face legal action.

The following guidelines and recommendations are based on input from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC), the World Health Organization (WHO), the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services (HHS), the National Institute of Health (NIH), and the Southern Nevada Health District (SNHD). To help protect the health and wellness of all participants, everyone attending the Forum 2022 agrees to adhere to these policies.

GENERAL HYGIENE & SANITATION. Masks, latex/nitrile gloves, hand sanitizer and disinfectant wipes will be made available to attendees who request them.

• Wash your hands frequently, particularly before eating, after using the restroom, and taking smoke breaks.
• Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth unless you’ve just washed your hands.
• If you sneeze or cough, cover your mouth with your sleeve into a flexed elbow.
• Clean and disinfect objects and surfaces that are frequently touched.

MASKS. As of March 9, 2022, the State of Nevada no longer requires guests and employees wear face coverings in any indoor or outdoor public space.

SIGNS OF ILLNESS. Should you develop any symptoms of illness (e.g., sneezing, coughing, fever, shortness of breath and other respiratory issues, sore throat, tiredness, aches, nasal congestion, runny nose, diarrhea, etc.), during the Forum 2022 or while traveling to it, please immediately inform both the Aria Resort & Casino and The Financial Brand. If you suspect that you are ill, please wear a mask at all times, and remain in your hotel room. Avoid contact with people, and warn anyone you may interact with — specifically housekeeping staff and room service — that you may be ill. Anyone who appears to have the flu, a cold, or other similar illness will not be allowed to participate in the conference.
