You can find our full policy at Anti-Suitcasing and Outboarding Policy.

Photo/Video Release Information:

When attending NAGGL events I hereby authorize and give my full consent to National Association of Government Guaranteed Lenders (NAGGL) to copyright and/or publish any and all photographs, videos and any other form of visual/audio communications in which I appear while attending any NAGGL event.

Cancelation Policy:

NAGGL intends to host the 2026 Annual Conference as a “hybrid” event featuring two different but cohesive experiences for participants – one catering to an in-person audience live at The Broadmoor in Colorado Springs, and one connecting an expansive virtual audience tuning in live from around the country.

NAGGL understands during these times that circumstances of your travel plans and abilities to travel may change. Find our full cancelation policy at https://www.naggl.org/cancelation-policy/

Looking to switch from an in-person registrant to virtual registrant? Email your request to info@naggl.org.

Guests are only permitted to attend the conference through the purchase of a $345 Guest Pass, which includes access to the Opening Reception on Sunday evening and the Closing Party on Tuesday evening.

Guests without an official conference badge will be asked to show proof of registration or to register for the full conference if space is available.
