Incorrect answer:
NO. Because there is a golf outing associated with the conference, you may not accept the invitation is INCORRECT.
You are correct that you should not accept a golf outing as part of an educational conference. The Independent Ethics Commission (IEC) has stated that golf trips and other recreational activities are never considered part of a conference and a covered individual should neither attend nor participate in such entertainment or recreational events unless he or she pays his or her own way. However, you may skip the golf outing, or pay for it yourself, and still accept payment of the conference expenses under the IEC PS 12-01.
