Whistler Medical Services:
The Whistler Health Care Centre (Vancouver Coastal Health) located at 4380 Lorimer Rd., Whistler, BC V8E 1A7, Canada, is a fully equipped
medical facility located less than a mile from the Fairmont. In case of illness or should you wish to visit a doctor, the Fairmont’s Guest Services
team can provide transportation to/from the clinic (depending on the severity of injury/illness). There is also an on-call doctor available who can
visit the hotel by request. Dial “5” from any house phone should you require medical attention. The hospital phone number is (604) 932-4911.

Fire and Emergency Procedures:
The Fairmont Chateau Whistler has been engineered to meet and exceed fire codes and is equipped with a wet/dry sprinkler system, heat/smoke

monitor its fire system 24/7 and will respond immediately to an event in the hotel.

General Guest Security:
    •     While visiting the beautiful Whistler Village, we urge you to take the same care for your own security and safety as you would at home.

          your valuables during your visit.
    •     Keep your bedroom door locked. Please ensure your door is fully closed when leaving and entering the room, engage the deadbolt for
          added security.
    •     The hotel will not disclose any personal information such as guest names or room numbers. The NTDA staff and volunteers cannot
          provide you with attendee room information either.

Registrant Types
Need to register an additional registrant, spouse/guest, or child on-site? Not sure which registrant type to select? See below:

Spouse/Guest Registrant:
A spouse or guest is a family member or significant other whose primary purpose in attending the Convention is to accompany a Dealer or
Allied Registrant. Coworkers or associates within the industry DO NOT qualify for Spouse/Guest registration and should complete an individual/
additional Dealer or Allied Registration.

If your spouse and/or guest(s) is traveling to the Convention with you, we encourage you to register him or her. Spouse/Guest registration
includes Welcome Lounge; Welcome Reception; Thursday Breakfast; Exhibition & Luncheon, Cocktail Reception & Awards Dinner. Spouse/Guest
registrants are also invited to attend educational sessions if interested.

Dealer & Allied Packages:
The NTDA offers a Dealer Package and an Allied Package that includes one Dealer or Allied Registrant plus one spouse/guest at a discounted
rate. Additional registrants or guests may register individually using a different payment method if so desired (e.g., a check or different credit/
debit card than a Dealer or Allied attendee). If paying with a different form of payment, please register your spouse/guest separately, contact the
NTDA at 1-800-800-4552, or e-mail accounting@ntda.org.

There is no charge for children 17 and under, but they require a badge. Additional fees apply for golf.

NTDA Convention Dress Code
The NTDA Convention is Business/Resort Casual. Slacks or knee-length shorts, polo shirts, button-down shirts, nice shoes, or sandals are
appropriate for men. No ties or sports coats, please! Pants/slacks, capri pants, skorts, skirts, sun dresses are appropriate for ladies. Life is short…
wear comfortable shoes!

Golf Dress Code
Men must wear a collared shirt and Bermuda-length shorts or pants. Ladies must have a collar on their top. Shorts or skirts of appropriate length
are allowed. NOT allowed on the course: denim (jeans), tank tops, t-shirts, cut-offs, athletic shorts, and metal spikes.

Please Drink Responsibly
We want you to have an enjoyable Convention! Please drink responsibly. Do not drink and drive. The Fairmont staff has been trained to serve
alcoholic beverages. The Fairmont and the NTDA will not be liable for any damages arising, directly or indirectly, from the intoxication of guests.
The Fairmont reserves the right to refuse service to anyone who appears to be intoxicated. Drink plenty of water while in Whistler to stay
hydrated as there may be a slight change in elevation. Alcohol may hit your system a bit faster in higher elevations.

R-E-S-P-E-C-T
The NTDA intends to provide a safe, harassment-free environment for all Convention attendees. Please always maintain a level of the utmost
professionalism and decorum and be respectful of fellow attendees, spouses/guests, NTDA staff and volunteers, hotel guests, speakers,
and third-party vendors. We encourage you to interrupt an unhealthy dynamic by referring to a trained hotel authority such as a bartender,
hotel staff member, or hotel security, should you witness a situation that requires intervention. Minimize potential sensitive circumstances,
reputational harm, and liability by always respecting yourself and others.

Whistler Street Fair Welcome Reception
(Open to All Registered Attendees)

Outside Portobello in Cobblestone Area to the Right of Resort
(Weather Backup: Woodland’s Terrace)
Enjoy the gorgeous fall colors and alpine atmosphere of Whistler’s Blackcomb mountains
while sampling local fare and enjoying some uniquely Canadian entertainment as you
connect with fellow attendees.
Drink tickets will be provided to attendees at registration when you pick up your badge. Be sure
to wear your badge! Street Fair will be fenced off for NTDA Convention attendees only. After drink
tickets are used, a cash bar will be available. Beer, wine, and liquor may be charged to your room
or paid via credit card or cash. Water and sodas are provided without a drink ticket.

Please note the legal drinking age in British Columbia is 19. No registrants under the category
of “Child 17 or Under” will be given drink tickets for alcohol. The resort may check ID for anyone
who appears under the legal drinking age.

Dress is business/resort casual. Fall attire, including flannel or plaid shirts, are perfectly fine
for this event! The Street Fair will take place outdoors on a cobblestone walkway so wear flat,
comfortable shoes! We will have outdoor heaters at the Street Fair. However, evenings can be
cooler so bring a jacket just in case. During the first week of October, the daytime highs are
typically in the low 60s (Fahrenheit), while overnight lows can dip to the mid- to upper -30s.
Layering is recommended to stay comfortable. This year was unseasonably warm throughout
the summer so it is hard to predict the fall temperatures.

Rapid Antigen COVID Testing for U.S. Residents
(Required for Return Entry into United States; Online Pre-registration and Pre-payment Required)
8:00 a.m.–4:00 p.m. (Nurses will be on lunch break from 12:00 p.m.–1:00 p.m.)
Woodland’s Terrace
Online pre-registration and pre-payment required for rapid antigen COVID testing for U.S. Residents prior to returning to the States. You
will receive your test results in about 20–30 minutes. You will be given a print out of your results to take with you to present to your airline and/or at
Customs. Your test result must be NEGATIVE. There will be a discounted fee for on-site testing. You will be able to pay by credit card on-site for your test.
(Unfortunately, most insurances do not cover COVID testing out of the country.) Attendees are responsible for scheduling their own COVID testing
and payment for any testing and/or for any medical treatment.

It is also very easy to book testing online at the airport of your choice. Please note that the average fee for a rapid antigen COVID test performed at an
airport is around $140 USD, which is more than you will pay on-site at the Convention. To schedule a rapid antigen COVID test an at airport, visit
https://covid-medical.ca/yvr-rapid-testing/, select your airport, then select a test time slot, and pay for your test in advance with a credit card.

What is a rapid antigen COVID test? Rapid antigen tests are on-the-spot screening tests that detect proteins in the COVID virus and, as the name suggests, deliver
results within minutes.

Nuclear Verdicts in Transportation Cases: Fact or Fiction?

Awards of more than $1 million have increased dramatically over the last 14 years when there is a commercial vehicle-related
accident. Carr Allison represents more than 20 of the top 25 motor carriers in the U.S. Charles Carr, a seasoned attorney with
the firm, will help you understand the impact of nuclear verdicts on the trucking industry. These verdicts have become more
and more lucrative. Insurance fraud as well as fake cases with sophisticated plans and well-rehearsed teams pulling of staged
crashes also add to the chaos. Meanwhile, cost increases have ultimately forced fleets out of business.                             Charles Carr,

Companies have been always challenged with maximizing production and increasing the bottom line. Today, the struggle
to hire, motivate, and retain Generations X, Y, Z means relatively high turnover. Loyalty is no longer based on a paycheck.
Younger generations are more mobile. The economy flipflops between an employer’s market and an employee’s market.
Competition has never been greater to attract and retain the brightest and the best. Learn what you can do to adapt to help
the next generation make use of their familiarity with technology, achieve personal goals while helping the company meet
its goals, and become the super powers of the future.
