SMS Text Messaging Policy

Encore Symposium uses SMS text messaging to communicate important information to customers and conference attendees who have registered for an Encore Symposium conference or otherwise specifically opted in to receive SMS communications.

By voluntarily providing your mobile telephone number and selecting the SMS consent option during the registration or enrollment process, you agree to receive text messages from Encore Symposium related to your conference registration and participation.

1. Types of Messages

SMS messages from Encore Symposium may include information related to:

Conference registration and registration status Registration confirmations and updates Conference reminders Conference dates, times, and locations Schedule changes or important conference announcements Instructions or information necessary for conference attendance Customer service communications related to your registration Information about your account or registration Other important information directly related to a conference for which you have registered Encore Symposium will not use consent provided for conference-related SMS communications to send unrelated marketing or promotional messages.

If Encore Symposium wishes to send promotional or marketing text messages that are outside the scope of the conference-related communications described above, separate consent may be required.

2. SMS Consent

SMS consent is voluntary and is not required to register for or attend an Encore Symposium conference.

To opt in to SMS communications, you must provide your mobile telephone number and affirmatively select the SMS consent checkbox during the registration or enrollment process.

The SMS consent checkbox is not selected by default.

Your consent to receive SMS messages applies specifically to Encore Symposium and the conference-related messaging program described in this policy. Consent to receive SMS messages is not transferred, assigned, sold, rented, or provided to another organization for that organization's own messaging or marketing purposes.

Simply providing a telephone number without affirmatively consenting to SMS communications does not constitute SMS consent.

3. Message Frequency

Message frequency varies based on your conference registration, attendance, and the amount of information necessary to communicate with you regarding your registered conference.

You may receive multiple messages before, during, or immediately following a conference when necessary to provide registration, scheduling, location, customer service, or other conference-related information.

Message and data rates may apply.

4. How to Opt Out

You may stop receiving SMS messages at any time by replying:

STOP

to any Encore Symposium text message.

After you send STOP, you will receive a confirmation message indicating that you have been unsubscribed, and no further SMS messages will be sent unless you subsequently provide consent to receive them again.

You may also contact Encore Symposium directly to request that SMS communications be discontinued.

Please understand that opting out of SMS communications does not cancel your conference registration or prevent Encore Symposium from communicating with you through other available methods, such as email or telephone, when appropriate.

5. Help and Customer Support

HELP

to any Encore Symposium text message.
