Warranty Virtual Coming Soon!
Warranty Chain Management 2020 has been postponed due to the Coronavirus and government travel guidance
Monday, March 16, 2020
After a great deal of discussion, our Executive Leadership team has decided to postpone Warranty Chain Management 2020. The safety and health of our attendees and partners is of paramount importance at this time. With that in mind, please stay tuned for more information from Bobit Business Media concerning our updated plans.
Warranty Chain Management has been committed to observing the recommendations put forth by public health officials since the beginning of this unprecedented situation. The latest guidance released by the CDC and White House Coronavirus Task Force, broadened the recommendations to consider postponing meetings and limiting attendance for any American. Therefore, the current environment makes it impossible for us to hold a successful event for our attendees and exhibitors.
FAQs
GENERAL QUESTIONS
Is it true that Warranty Chain Management 2020 has been postponed?
Yes. Due to ongoing concerns about the spread of Covid-19 (Coronavirus) and due to evolving restrictions and recommendations from government bodies around travel and gatherings, our Executive Leadership Team has determined unanimously that the Show should be postponed. We are working with our event venue (The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas) on our rescheduled conference dates and new dates will be announced in the next 30-60 days, please refer to our website https://www.warrantyconference.com/

Show Management is working diligently with The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas on new dates for our postponed Warranty Chain Management 2020 event. As soon as the new dates are confirmed, we will communicate this email directly to our Sponsors/Exhibitors, Speakers and Attendees.
SPONSOR/EXHIBITOR QUESTIONS
Are refunds being issued for Exhibit Space and Sponsorships?
Since, we are working on new, rescheduled conference dates, all Exhibit and Sponsorship contracts are in place and will automatically be incorporated into the new conference dates and your booth space will be maintained in the rescheduled dates.
What if the new date of the rescheduled show does not work for me?
We will work directly with our Sponsor/Exhibitors, on a case-by-case basis, if the new rescheduled show dates do not align with your availability.
What happens to my electric and furniture order? Should I cancel my order?
Similar to Registration, your submitted orders will automatically be incorporated into the new conference dates. You are able to modify or cancel your orders by reaching out to the vendors or the vendor portal. The list of the preferred vendors can be found here.
Upon updated show dates, all Exhibitors and Sponsors will be notified via email of new deadline dates for rentals and other Service Kit items.
How will my Advance to Warehouse freight be returned?
If you have already shipped your freight, please contact the Official Event Contractor Shepard Expositions at (702)507-5278 or email them at [email protected] immediately to discover the status of your shipment(s). Please note Shepard is reaching out to all those exhibitors whose freight has been received in their Ontario, CA Advanced Warehouse location.
For shipments arranged with ELITEeXPO Cargo System, contact the carrier at (800) 543-5484 and request the shipment be returned to sender or re-routed to the location of your choosing. Return to sender will be your most cost effective and efficient option.
ELITeXPO would like you to be aware that they are staffed and working all exhibit shipments as normal. They have extended hours throughout the weekend to assure that any urgent changes are handled appropriately. Be assured that they also will have on-call staff available after hours and weekends for any other requests that need immediate attention. ELITeXPO also will be able to offer short term storage alternatives to those customers who may have diverted shipments in anticipation for future events.
ATTENDEE QUESTIONS
Will the cost of badge registration be refunded for attendees?
Since we are still within the Registration Refund timeline (30 days prior to event start date), you may cancel your reservation for a Registration Refund less the $75 Cancellation Fee. We hope you will still plan to attend when we announce our new dates! If so, you can leave your registration in place and it will automatically rollover into the new conference dates.
If I booked my hotel through the official housing provider, The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas, how do I cancel my reservation?
You should immediately contact The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas and cancel your hotel room reservation. You can reach the hotel at 855-435-0005. Note: Warranty Chain Management Show Management does not have the authority to cancel our attendees’ Hotel reservations – therefore, reservations are not automatically cancelled with the show postponement.
If you elected to book outside of the official room block, you will have to work directly with that hotel on any cancellation fees.
Can I keep my Cosmopolitan hotel room reservation for my personal use and retain my discount?
If you do not cancel your reservation, hotel room reservation will be intact, but you will need to check directly with the hotel about honoring the postponed event negotiated room rate. To keep things clean and simple, we do encourage you to cancel your hotel room with The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas and rebook when we announce our new dates.
Will Warranty Chain Management be reimbursing flight cancellation fees?
No, individuals should contact their air carrier for specific instructions on how to cancel or change their flights; this is not a reimbursable expense from Warranty Chain Management.
