Session Selection and Seating
Your session selections help us assign meeting room space for each educational session. This allows us to project which sessions are in demand, but it does not guarantee your seating. If you change your mind, you may attend a different session than the one you signed up for on your registration form. Session seating is on a first-come, first-served basis, unless otherwise noted.
All prices USD

Workshop sessions: Business casual.
Banquet: Business attire.

New this year. Conference badges are mailed the week of April 17, 2009. Please bring your badge with you to Charlotte. It is your passport to the Express registration line.
Special Needs
If you have special dietary needs or if you require any special services or auxiliary aids in accordance with the Americans With Disabilities Act, please be sure to check the appropriate line on the Conference registration form. An ISM representative will contact you to confirm your special needs.
Tax Deduction
The Internal Revenue Service may permit an income tax deduction to U.S. residents for expenses (including registration fees, travel costs, meals and lodging) incurred in pursuit of continuing professional education. Consult your tax adviser for details.
Photo Release
From time to time, we use photographs of participants in our promotional material. By virtue of your attendance, you agree to the use of your likeness in such material.
ISM Cancellation/Refund Policy
Notification of your cancellation must be in writing. Cancellations received up to the day prior to the program are subject to a $100 cancellation charge.

If the program is not held for any reason, ISM’s liability is limited to the program fee.
