Publications
NSChE planned the #GardenCity_2026 conference to be largely paperless and digitally accessible. All publications including the final program, book of abstracts, conference proceedings and related materials will be provided to participants in soft copy format via flash drive and online access. Presentation slides may also be made available online after the conference. Participants who prefer a printed copy of the conference proceedings may request one during registration at production cost.

Conference Attire
NSChE conferences are generally conducted in business casual attire.

Meals
NSChE will provide lunches on 12–14 November 2026, coffee breaks during conference sessions, and a conference dinner during the event period at the venue. Participants with special dietary requirements are advised to speak with a representative of the welfare committee to determine if their preferences can be accommodated.

Accessibility
If you have a disability and/or special accessibility needs and require assistance, please send your request and phone number by email to conference@nsche.org by 13 October 2026. A representative of the HSSE sub-committee will contact you to discuss your specific requirements.

Individuals officially designated by NSChE may photograph, videotape, and/or audiotape conference events. By attending the conference, you consent to the use of your image by NSChE for documentation and promotional purposes.

Official photographers will capture key moments such as fellowship investiture, awards ceremonies and major sessions. These images may be shared online for registered participants to access and download.
