    Early registration deadline is Monday, March 6, 2006. All contest registration fees are included in the registration fee. All registered students MUST be AITP student members (otherwise add $35 for student membership). Registration fee includes morning beverages, all breakout sessions, exhibits, two luncheons, breaks, and the awards banquet. Guest Price is for the Saturday night Awards Banquet ONLY!  The "Friday only" or the "Saturday "only" registrations include all conference sessions and meals/food functions for the entire day.

    * Includes the $35 AITP Student Membership Fee but if you join AITP as a student member via www.aitp.org by March 6th, 2006 (special extension to match the AITP NCC early bird registration cut-off) - the membership is only $25 so "do that first and SAVE $" then register for the conference the next day due to delays in membership database syncronization.

    Online Registration is NOW Open! 

    REGISTRATION CANCELLATION POLICY

    Substitutions are encouraged but in the event a cancellation is required, it must be in writing and will be subject to a $50 administrative fee.  There will be no refunds for cancellations after 3/21/2006 or for no-shows.

    CONFERENCE FORCE MAJEURE

    Performance of the conference is subject to acts of God, government authority, disaster or other emergencies that are beyond the control of the parties (AITP and you the attendee), any of which make it illegal or impossible to provide the services and/or facilities related to this conference. It is provided that this Agreement may be terminated for any one or more of such reasons by written notice from one party to the other without liability.  In the event that the conference is not able to be held due to "force majeure" conditions or situations listed above - a full refund of registration fees will be provided.

     

    SUGGESTED CONFERENCE ATTIRE

    Many students have asked about what is "appropriate" attire for the conference so here are some suggested guidelines to follow:

     

    Day Time of Day Suggested Attire
    Thursday all day/travel/registration/contests casual
    Friday conference sessions business/business casual
      contest events casual
    Saturday conference & contests sessions business/business casual
      banquet business/business casual and some even go formal!
    Sunday all day/travel casual

    Remember, our conference keynoters, breakout speakers and exhibitors want to be impressed by AITP and likewise, you want to impress them as well, especially if you are seeking information and/or opportunities from the career fair exhibitors. In other words, dress to impress but don't dress to "depress or shock". However, "comfortable and acceptable" attire is encouraged for the contest events which will be held at the hotel  on Thursday and Friday. After all, we want you to be comfortable as you go for the winner circle at this year's conference but you also want to look sharp when we take your "winner picture" at the banquet too!

    CONFERENCE BEHAVIOR AND ATTITUDE

    Fortunately, we have not had any major problems nor incidents at any of the past conferences but at the request at one of our exhibitors, they kindly ask for your promptness, attention and respect for all conference keynotes, breakout sessions, contest events and exhibitors. Remember, you are representing not only AITP, but your respective college/university and all other AITP members at this conference event. Emergency contact information will also be provided as you obtain your conference registration materials "just in case".

     

    TIPPING FOR SERVICES

    The Dallas Adams Mark Hotel is a true 5-star hotel property which is the ultimate in total guest services and attention to detail.  From the moment you enter the hotel, you will notice and experience this level of service but not everyone has had the opportunity to enjoy and benefit from this level of service from a conference hotel but believe me, you will notice it!  I do, however, kindly ask that you are considerate of the hotel staff that goes the extra mile and performs additional services like the bellman, spa/health club attendants, hail a cab and so forth.  Much like restaurant workers, the majority of their income comes from tips and they "kindly ask you to compensate them for the requested services that they provide you".
