Registration Information
Registration Terms
Registration is accepted on a full-payment, first-come, first-serve basis only.
Registration Confirmation
Confirmations are e-mailed within 48 hours after processing your registration. If you do not receive a confirmation letter, please call the ASCD Service Center at 1-800-933-ASCD (2723) to determine the status of your registration.
Please do not book nonrefundable airline tickets without confirmation that your registration has been received and processed. ASCD will not be held responsible for airfares booked before confirmation is received.
Special Services
Please notify ASCD at the time you register if you need a sign language interpreter or other special assistance. ASCD must be notified at least 14 calendar days in advance of the event.
Program Cancellation
ASCD reserves the right to cancel programs because of low registration. In the unlikely event of a cancellation, all registrants will be notified and will receive full refunds.
Please do not make nonrefundable airline reservations until you contact ASCD to find out if your program is being considered for cancellation.
No Show
If you are unable to attend a program you have registered for, call or write ASCD 14 calendar days prior to the start of the program to request a credit voucher. Or, you can send a nonregistered person in your place, with registration confirmation or written authorization from you.
There is a $35 processing fee for all cancellations, refunds, or credits. If you cancel within 14 days of the program, no refund or voucher will be issued.
Travel and Lodging
Participants are responsible for their own transportation, meals, and lodging. All hotel reservations must be made via Web (www.ascd.org/pdi_lodging) or by phone. (ASCD provides coffee, pastries, and tea each morning. Participants are responsible for their own lunches and dinners.)

Registration for the Pre- and Post-Conference Institutes associated with the Annual Conference does not include registration for our Annual Conference.
