Special Notes and Payment Instructions

We suggest that you register as soon as possible to be certain that you will have a hotel room at the conference rate. Late registrations will be accepted on a space available basis.

All participants are encouraged to register by June 28, 2012. There is a discounted price for registering before this date and hotel space cannot be guaranteed for registrations received after this date. Your registration is not officially confirmed until we receive payment of the amount due and ECI reserves the right to cancel your room registration if payment is not received. Your invoice/receipt will automatically be e-mailed upon receipt of your registration.

Because of contractual guarantees made with the hotel for room and meal functions, no shows, late arrivals, missed meals and early departures cannot receive fee adjustments.

Payment must be made by credit card (Visa, Mastercard, Amex), check or money order drawn on a U.S. bank in U.S. dollars, payable to ENGINEERING CONFERENCES INTERNATIONAL. Checks or money orders in any other currencies are NOT ACCEPTABLE. Payment is made on the web site except for those who are sending payment by wire transfer or have a purchase order from their company/institution.

WIRE TRANSFER PAYMENT: If you are planning to make payment by wire transfer, please contact ECI for the bank information. You must add $30 to cover ECI bank charges. Please reference your full name and the conference title. Fax a copy of your bank transfer papers to ECI (Fax: +1-212-514-6030) or email a scanned copy to kathy@engconfintl.org. This is very important - otherwise it is extremely difficult to trace your payment and you may not receive a receipt prior to the conference.

Cancellation Policy: Cancellation must be received by ECI in writing at least three weeks prior to the start of the conference in order for a full refund to be considered. The ECI auditors require that refunds for all conference cancellations be processed after the conference so that the necessary back-up information (i.e., hotel list of those in-house) can be attached to the refund request and ECI can verify that the hotel has not charged a cancellation fee. Cancellations received less than three weeks prior to the conference start date are subject to a $200 cancellation fee plus any direct expenses incurred by ECI.

IIf you have a disability and may require accommodation in order to participate fully in this conference, please indicate this when you register. An ECI representative will contact you to discuss your specific needs.

If you have special dietary requirements (i.e., vegetarian or a food allergy), please make a note on your registration form. The chef needs to know this information in advance if we are to accommodate you. We will do our best to accommodate your requirements. Some meals (Kosher or Halal), if available, may require an additional cost .

Smoking is prohibited at ECI conferences and conference functions.

Should you have specific questions regarding your registration, please contact Kathy Chan (kathy@engconfintl.org).
