2025 Annual Conference

 

The American Organization for Nursing Leadership (AONL) grants press passes to those contributing writers or freelancers who have the required credentials and who will be writing about the AONL conference. All media personnel must be pre-qualified and pre-registered. A press pass, available for pick-up onsite, will admit working media to the exhibit hall, keynotes and breakout sessions.

Policies for Press and Media

Admittance

AONL reserves the right to refuse or rescind a press pass for any reason. However, the primary reasons for such extreme steps would typically be: 1) failure to provide adequate credentials (required pre-registration) or 2) unprofessional conduct by a media delegate during the course of the event. Additionally, AONL reserves the right to modify or waive these requirements at any time but will honor existing press registrations.

Cancellation

A press conference pass includes access to breakout sessions, lunches and social events. Since we incur considerable costs on a press delegate’s behalf, we request a written cancellation notice sent to aonlannualconference@aha.org at least 14 business days in advance of the program.

Audio and Video Taping

No individual or entity other than AONL may electronically record or copy any portion of this program for any use without prior written consent from AONL (including recordings from smart phones, iPads and other handheld devices).

Media and Audio Release

Registration and attendance at, or participation in, AONL meetings and other activities constitutes an agreement by the registrant to AONL’s use and distribution (both now and in the future) of the registrant or attendee’s image or voice in photographs, videotapes, electronic reproductions and audiotapes of such events and activities.

Opinions, materials and statements presented at the AONL Conference are not endorsed by, and do not necessarily represent, the views of the association or its members.
