Registration

Attention IACP Members!  Registration for the conference is being offered online! It’s fast, easy, and provides an immediate confirmation of your registration.

To facilitate a smooth online registration process, you should first review and become familiar with the conference program.  Then, when ready to register, have the program window open on your browser, and then click the REGISTER ONLINE NOW link below.  The order of registration matches the order of the program, so that you can quickly compare concurrent sessions to make sure you register for the session which is most appropriate to meeting your conference goals. Please note that processing of your credit card charge may take 2-3 days, and that the logon account for the online registration process is one that you create and is not based on your IACP Web site login.  A print registration form and printable conference program (see below) are available for your use if needed.

For questions about registration, contact IACP Headquarters via phone: (800) 928-4227, or (404) 252-3663, or e-mail:  info@iacp.com.

Online registration for the 2009 Conference will be available until Tuesday, March 17. After that date, registration will be available onsite only, beginning March 30.  Registration fees and details are listed below.
 

Full Conference Registration Fees

Full Conference Registration includes attendance at all educational sessions, social events and meals that are planned as part of the conference agenda, beginning with the opening reception on Wednesday evening, April 1 through the final concurrent session of workshops on Saturday afternoon, April 4. 

The registration fee does not include events that are identified as optional.  Optional events include:  the pre-conference culinary tours on Tuesday, the Section Forums, advanced level classes, luncheon and optional sessions on Wednesday, the evening events on Thursday and Friday, the master classes on Saturday, and the Gala After-Party.  Each of these is a ‘ticketed’ event and requires an additional fee as noted on the registration form.

To take advantage of the “Early Bird” discounted fee of $595, registrations must be received by Friday, February 27.  The regular conference fee of $655 will apply to those registrations received between Saturday, February 28 and Tuesday, March 17.  All registrations received after Tuesday, March 17 will be considered onsite registrations and will incur a late charge of $50 (raising the conference fee to $705).  These deadlines apply to all registrants regardless of residency location.
