Q. Is it possible to register just for the keynote presentation or for a single day?
A.   The value of the entire conference is such that registration for a single presentation is not offered. We encourage delegates to plan on attending the entire event so as to benefit from the wide variety of presentations offered. If there are still tickets available at the end of June, some one day tickets may be made available at the discretion of the Conference Committee.

Q. Will you accept a late proposal/workshop for presentation at your conference?
A. Unfortunately, we are unable to accept late proposals for the conference. However, we do hope that you will consider participating in the conference as a delegate.

Q. How can I find out more about what kind of presentations might be at the conference?
A. We suggest that you review the abstracts from previous conferences. Just go to http://www.ierg.net/confs/index.php and click on the year that you are interested in.

You may also like to email the Conference Organizer at conferences@ierg.net

Q. How can I get in touch with other presenters at the conference? How can I arrange a meeting with someone at the conference?

Q. Is there a place for me to make photocopies at or near the conference venue?
A.   The hotel has a business centre. Arrangements to make photocopies can be made there. In addition, there is a business centre that operates in the shopping mall below the Hotel.

Q. I'm not staying at the Coast Plaza Hotel. Will there be a space there that I can access to do some work?
A. There is no formal space offered for people not staying at the Coast Plaza. However, it is likely that the hotel you're staying at might offer such services. If time and space permits, there will also be rooms and times reserved for 'Networking'. Just check the final conference schedule for the conference you are attending.

Q.How many people come to the conference? How many people can I expect at my session?

You can expect between 15 and 30 delegates at your session on average and depending on what delegates that year perceive as valuable. We cannot guarantee a minimum or maximum number of participants.

Q. I have special dietary needs; can I make arrangements for this?
A. Absolutely. Please indicate this during the registration and arrangements will be made accordingly. You may also email our Conference Organizer in confidence at conferences@ierg.net

Q. Are breakfast, lunch and/or supper included in the conference registration fees?
A. To keep registration costs as low as possible, we have chosen to provide a light snack in the morning and in the afternoon. Delegates are asked to make arrangements for their own main meals. The Wednesday evening opening includes a buffet style reception with light food choices. In addition, there are optional evening events on Thursday and Friday which include a meal in the price.

Q. Can I register on-site?
A. There are a limited number of on-site registrations. Please download this form, fill it out and bring it with you to expedite your registration. Note that registration fees go up for onsite registrations.

Q.  I might not be able to make it until the second or third day of the event. Will the conference/registration desk be open only on the first day of the conference?
A. We do prefer that people register on the first evening of the conference so that all delegates have ample time to get seated for the Thursday morning Keynote Session. Conference staff will be available to help you throughout the conference. Registration hours are:
Wednesday: 3:00 - 6:00 pm
Thursday:    8:00 am - 5:00 pm
