NSAC 2016: Reduce, Recycle, & Reuse!
If you’re like us, you probably have stacks of bags that you’ve collected over the years from various conferences. Acknowledging this trend, we’ve invited NSAC attendees to BYOB: Bring Your Own Bag!
Here’s how it works:
We invite you to bring bags from previous conferences. You can deposit them into the collection barrels you’ll see near registration. You can either use the bags you bring or switch it out for another bag from the collection barrels.
This is a great way to “recycle” bags from previous conferences and also is a great conversation starter! Please look for the collection barrels near registration, and if you need a bag, we encourage you to take one! Help us to Reduce, Recycle, and Reuse in DC!

Cancellation of your conference registration must be made in writing. All refunds will be made after the conference.
