Groups

Each event participant group (panelist and performer groups) must select one person to be their point of contact, or Group Lead (GL). The GL has the responsibility of coordinating with Live Events Staff about the details of their group’s event(s). The GL is the only member of the group that can make changes, such as: adding/removing members of the group, description/content changes, schedule change requests, etc. Any requests, questions or concerns should be directed to LiveEvents@ACen.org. The GL is responsible for ensuring that all members of their group are up to date on everything as well as making sure all members of the group understand and follow all ACen Policies.

Only the GL will be contacted regarding an event’s status. It is the responsibility of the GL to communicate any information to the rest of the group.
