A number of important deadlines are approaching at week’s end that affect consultants, admission representatives, and exhibitors alike.

First, the deadline for regular IECA conference registration is this Friday, October 9. After this date, there will be a late fee, so those planning to attend should get their registrations in as soon as possible. Also those who register after this date will not be listed in the onsite conference guidebook, always a valuable resource for attendees. In addition, the deadline to reserve rooms at the conference hotel, using the discounted conference rate is fast approaching. Hotel information is provided at the conclusion of the online registration process.

The deadline is fast approaching for vendors: those who supply goods and services to consultants, schools, admission offices, etc. Vendors get a complete description in the conference guide, but must have their materials submitted by week’s end to be included. The deadline is upon us for advertising in the conference guide, space should be reserved immediately.

Those already registered should examine their schedules, as time to sign up for any of the pre-conference events is also drawing to a close. There are a limited number of spaces available for consultants to attend the speed meetings, with tremendous interest among traditional schools and programs (for Wednesday morning) and therapeutic schools and programs (for Thursday afternoon). With so much interest and excitement building over the speed meetings, pre-registration is required.

Additional pre-conference opportunities include: school tours (Monday and Tuesday), Colleges Tours (Monday-Wednesday), and pre-conference programs on testing, financial aid, and customer service remain open, but with limited seating. Those who already registered should use their confirmation information to access their online account and add a pre-conference event.

As of this morning, registration for the conference has topped 925, suggesting total attendance over 1,100 is possible. IECA conferences offer the unique opportunity to connect with not only educational consultants, but traditional day and boarding schools, college admission officers, and administrators of schools and programs for students with learning disabilities, and programs for students with emotional or behavioral issues.

We look forward to welcoming everyone to Charlotte, NC for an exceptional gathering next month!
