To register, please choose one format:
Registering On-Line
The quickest method is to register on-line at www.abct.org. Use this method for immediate feedback on which ticketed sessions you will be attending. To receive members’ discounted rates, your ABCT dues must be up to date. If your membership has lapsed, use this opportunity to renew. To get member rates at this conference, your ABCT dues must be paid through October 31, 2013. The ABCT member year is November 1 – October 31.
For those registering on-site, you may renew membership at the ABCT membership booth located in the ABCT registration area.
Registering by Fax
You may fax your completed registration form, along with credit card information and your signature, to (212) 647-1865. If you choose this method please DO NOT send a follow-up hard copy. This will likely cause double payment. For preregistration rates, please register BEFORE the deadline date of October 10.
Registering by Mail
All preregistrations that are paid by check must be mailed to ABCT, 305 Seventh Avenue, New York, NY 10001. For preregistration rates, forms must be postmarked by the deadline date: October 10. Forms postmarked starting October 24 will not be processed and will be mailed back to the sender. There will be no exceptions.
Registration Dates
For preregistration rates, please register before the deadline date of October 10. NO registrations will be accepted in any format from October 24 until November 15, when on-site registration will open in National Harbor. From October 11 through October 23, registration will be accepted at the on-site rates.
Refund Policy
Refund requests must be in writing. Refunds will be made only until the October 10 deadline, and a $40 handling fee will be deducted. Because of the many costs involved in organizing and producing the Convention, no refunds will be given after October 10.
Confirmation
ABCT will email confirmation shortly after you register. For on-line registration you will receive confirmation the next day. For fax and mail registration, please allow one week. If confirmation is not received, please email Tonya Childers at tchilders@abct.org detailing the date you registered and the fees you paid.
