Conference Registration is live and, in case you missed it, the Early Bird pricing window is a very exclusive and short window that ends on September 9, 2024. Don't miss your chance for the biggest discount on attendance.
We want to remind everyone that the best and first place to find conference information is ACCTConference.com - including general information, pricing information, general agendas, exhibitor and sponsor registration, and links to service crew & scholarship applications.
The attendee registration is hosted through our member website this year, but the link to those pages can also always be found at ACCTConference.com. For those of you who've come to the conference in the past, you'll notice some big changes to the registration process.
- Hosting registration on our member platform eliminates the need for us to sync data to another system, and no longer requires you to find / remember your Member ID. Logging in will identify you and grant you access to the member rates. We can still help organizational members make sure the right people are in your list and in membership-inheriting seats, but you may also be able to help yourself with that (and there's a video walkthrough, if you want to try or can't reach us).
- Registering multiple people at once is possible this year. You should be able to choose anyone who's from the same company as you in step one of the registration process. You can also write in names of those who are not in your company's list, but all discounted rates are based on being in the right seats (and groups) on the platform.
- SPECIAL NOTE: Only those people who are in the proper lists can see / purchase specially discounted tickets. For example, If you're exhibiting, the person who signed up for the booths can see those tickets; If you're a presenter or on the service crew, only you can see those specially priced tickets.
If your company wants to pay for your specially priced tickets at the same time as the rest of their attendees, you can select Invoice in the last step of your registration, someone else could register everyone else and choose Invoice, and then anyone with the proper permissions for the company can pay both open invoices at once; Alternatively, if only one person at your company is eligible for discounts, they could register everyone attending, as long as they're the person logged in.
As always, we're here to help you! On that note, something that people who've registered and attended in the past might notice is a familiar face in the crew:
