What are the tours and when do they take place?

Our immensely popular pre-arranged tours are made with several facilities, giving you the opportunity to see firsthand, learn from industry leaders and get your questions answered personally. The tour sessions sell out very quickly, and space is limited, so you want to move fast if you see a tour to your likings.

Deails on the 2015 tour schedule will be announced shortly.


How do I register for the tours?

Once announced, you can register for a tour during the conference registration process. If you have a specific tour in mind that you want to attend, we encourage you to do so early as tours are limited in attendance and sell out on a first to register basis.  Only one tour will be offered per attendee.

There is a small additional fee of $30 for each tour, which covers the tour and transportation to and from the hotel. Tour hosts reserve the right to approve registrants. Other tour limitations may apply.


Are there any networking functions during the evenings?

Yes – you have a great opportunity to network with your peers at the our on-site parties. Details are being finalized and will be posted shortly.


What is the dress code?

Business casual. Sometimes meeting rooms can get cold so please bring a light sweater or jacket.


What is your refund/cancellation policy?

Refunds are available in full until December 31, 2014. After December 31, any cancellation requests received in writing will be granted, less a $200 administration fee until April 3. No cancellations will be available after April 3, 2015.
