At this time, we are not requiring proof of vaccination or masks to attend the conference. We strongly encourage those who can get vaccinated to do so for your safety and the safety of others. If you feel more comfortable wearing a mask, we encourage you to do so. Many folks are still choosing to wear masks, so it's likely you will not be the only one in a mask. We support you taking whatever precautions feel right to you!

However, we do ask you to agree to the event’s terms and conditions when you register for the event.

Neighborhood Partnerships is pleased to offer conference attendees a special group rate at the Grand Hotel in Salem, connected to the Convention Center.

Participants can reserve rooms for $169 to $189 per night (depending on room and occupancy). This rate is available from October 14 - 18 and does not include state and local taxes and fees, currently 12.54%.

Please make your reservation directly with the Convention Center by calling 877-540-7800. Identify yourself as a RE:Conference attendee to secure the special rate.

Reservations must be made by Saturday, September 14th. Requests received after this date will be accepted on a space and rate availability basis.

Attendees are not required to stay at the Convention Center and may book lodging wherever they prefer.

A limited amount of scholarship funds are available to support participation in this year’s RE:Conference. If you would like to be considered, please fill out the application. Priority will be given to scholarship applications completed by August 16th. Scholarship decisions will be made on a rolling basis.

The Salem Convention Center offers ample free parking to conference attendees in their underground garage. The garage entrance is accessible via Liberty Street.

The Salem Convention Center allows individuals to use space in their administrative office for lactation and pumping. Please connect with event staff onsite or contact us if you need a private space.

All restrooms in the RE:Conference space are gender neutral.

The Salem Convention Center is accessible to persons with disabilities and persons who are wheelchair users. Assistive listening devices (ALD) are available upon advance request. For individuals requiring an ALD or other accommodations, please contact us as early as possible prior to the conference to help us to ensure availability. We will make every attempt to meet your needs, but will be more likely to be able to do so if we have time to plan in advance. We encourage you to visit the Salem Convention website to review parking and building information.

Neighborhood Partnerships will offer a full refund on registration tickets for cancellation until August 30, 2024. From September 1 to October 4, we will offer a 50% refund. Beginning October 5th, we are unable to provide any refunds on registration tickets. In the event of conference cancellation, you will receive a full refund of your purchase.

Read this carefully: Upon registration check-out, you will receive a request from FanShield to insure your tickets. Please note that this is an optional service by a third-party agency and is not affiliated with Neighborhood Partnerships. We also ask that you read Neighborhood Partnerships' refund policy above. You will already receive a refund for your ticket if the event cancels, thus you do not need to purchase insurance if this is your concern.
