Bring Seven or more colleagues to the Conference (PDC) and Pre/Post Conference Seminars, and SAVE!

If you plan to send seven or more colleagues from your company to Safety 2009’s Conference (PDC) and Advance, Pre and Post Conference Seminars, you can save substantially. Here’s how it works:

1. Please have your company representative contact the ASSE group meetings coordinator, at pdcgroups@asse.org for full program details and to obtain a group discount code.
2. Your company will be assigned a group code that permits your employees to register for the conference and Pre and Post Conference Seminars via the web, fax or mail.
3. Please see the list of topics and descriptions for the Pre and Post Conference seminars. These seminars will be discounted as follows: $25 off each one-day seminar and $50 off each two or three-day seminar. You must sign up for Safety 2009 (the PDC) in order to receive the seminar discounts.
4. For discount eligibility, each employee must complete all steps on the registration form, and provide the group code at the TOP of the online registration form, or in the brochure under Step 1B (Group Registration) to be eligible to receive the group discount.  If you substitute attendees, please provide their names in writing and finalize the substitution by May 29, 2009. After May 29, a substitution fee of $75 per person will apply.
5. Groups should utilize ASSE housing to qualify for group registration discounts. One-day registrants for the Conference are excluded from group discounts.

Your Group must be registered and postmarked by May 29, 2009, 5:00 pm CST.

Physically Challenged Registrants

Whenever possible, arrangements will be made for physically challenged registrants provided ASSE receives 90 days written notice. Please write a letter of explanation, your name and phone number, and attach to the registration form. ASSE will contact you to further discuss your needs.

Government Employee Registration

A completed government purchase order or training authorization form must accompany your registration form if not paid in full. Sorry, this is not considered payment. Your registration will have a balance due until full payment is received. Registration forms received without a P.O. or training authorization form will be returned. Special events must be pre-paid.

Exposition

If you only have one day to visit the exhibits, we have a one-day only exposition pass that is available at ASSE on-site registration for $95.  Advance purchase is not available. 

Need to Cancel?

Full refunds (yes, that’s right!) will be granted to requests received in writing to ASSE (postmarked by midnight or faxed by midnight) on June 5, 2009.  Sorry, we do not accept cancellations over the phone. Cancellations received in writing between June 6 and June 12, 2009 will be assessed the following cancellation fees (per person):

Conference (PDC): $285

		847.296.3769

Note to Groups: If the number of cancellations brings the group size down to a lower discount level, each registrant will be billed the difference between the discount already paid and the next discount level fee.

Sorry, but refunds will not be granted after June 12, 2009.

Substitution Policy

Sure we can substitute one person from another!  Substitutions must be received in writing by June 12.
