There will be a registration fee for the conference and there will be opportunities for sponsorship.

If you are trying to register as part of an organisation with Corporate Membership and are not individually registered on www.isrp.com I can generate a code for you. If you think you are a member in good standing but cannot find a code on www.isrp.com then let me know.
The full conference will last from 10th to 12th May but, in addition there will also be an educational session which could be used for PD purposes on May 9th. This will be Americas based though the European Section are hoping to add its own content.
Sessions will be timed so that at least two of the time-zone regions (Americas, Europe and Far East) can participate live without having to be awake in the middle of the night. Sessions will be recorded.
