Note to U.S. government attendees: The attendance is waived for government attendees at this event, and meals, refreshments and gift will be provided to all attendees, which may constitute a “gift” under regulations applicable to U.S. government employees. You should seek guidance from your designated agency ethics official as to whether your acceptance of free attendance to this event is permitted under your agency’s widely attended gathering (WAG) rule and obtain any determinations required by such rule or other applicable regulations. 5 C.F.R 2635.204(g) and United States Office of Government Ethics memo DO-07-47 dated December 5, 2007.
