Conference CDs and Tutorial Material
Conference CDs and tutorial material will be available after the conference, for $100 and $300, respectively. If interested, please contact Ms. Lynda Bernstein, IAS Administrator, at: l.bernstein@ieee.org.
For individuals from outside the United States, refer to the visitor and visa information at the bottom of the page (including rules concerning people from non-visa countries).
The registration fees are structured as follows, with three broad categories:
- Full registration gives you access to all technical presentations, all tutorials, conference social functions, as well as related materials.
- Registration for "Technical sessions only" allows you access to the conference planned 22 technical sessions, as well as the conference CD and access to the conference social functions.
- Registration for "Tutorials only" makes it possible for you to choose several tutorials (no limit) from the conference extensive continuing education program. You will get the material from every tutorial as well as entry to the conference social functions.
- Some à la carte registrations are also available.
In an effort to keep the cost of attending the conference well below its benefits, there are a number of discount opportunities, specifically for:
- Attendees who stay at Hyatt Regency Houston, the conference hotel. This discount, $300, is given because the hotel will charge the conference for the meeting rooms if the number of hotel rooms rented by conference attendees falls below a predetermined level. This discount is also available to residents of the greater Houston area.
- IEEE members: IEEE dues for the entire 2010 calendar year are $189 for members from the USA, and less so for others or for a partial year membership. Click on (https://ieee.org/web/membership/join/join.html) to join the IEEE. Discount for IEEE members is $200.
- Members of the IAS and of its sister societies: PES, PELS, IES, and IEEJ/AIE. IAS membership fee is $20 for IEEE members. Click (https://ieee.org/web/membership/join/join.html) to join the IAS. Discount for IAS members is $100, in addition to your $200 IEEE member discount.
- Registering early (on or before August 31st 2010, save $200).
- Student, retirees, IEEE Life members and the unemployed enjoy reduced rates as well.
