(1) Esteemed Leaders are retired DEPS members willing to volunteer for two half-days of service.
In exchange for their help in putting on a successful program we can offer a reduced rate for their attendance to the overall
symposium. Please email Dawn@deps.org for more information.
(2) Full time students will be admitted at reduced charge provided they agree to assist DEPS staff
for two half-days of service. If these conditions are not met, students will be required to pay the full registration fee.
Registration fees include participation in all Symposium sessions for which the attendee qualifies, breakfast snacks* and coffee breaks
Tuesday through Friday mornings, lunch Tuesday through Thursday, the evening reception on Tuesday, and a copy of the proceedings.
*Note that Government Employee registration does not include breakfast.
Breakfast can be purchased for $17/day with your registration. If need to purchase separately, please register first, then contact the DEPS office
to add Government breakfasts to your registration.
Short course registrations include:
- Student course materials
- Refreshments, and
- Continuous Learning Point (CLP) credits for successful students.
Morning courses include breakfast snacks, and a box lunch is provided to those attending afternoon courses.
Two half-day courses can be selected for the price of a full-day course. Short courses can be purchased
separate from your Symposium registration by using a form that will be available here soon.
Also note that companion meal tickets, allowing guests to enjoy the catered events, are available for an additional cost
and can be purchased with your registration (below) or separately by using an online companion registration form that will be available here soon.
Registration for this event is closed.
IMPORTANT NOTE: There will be NO onsite registration for this event.
Persons requesting cancellation through 17 October will receive a full refund. Cancellations after 17 October are subject
to a $100 cancellation fee. No refunds will be given after 11 November.
Companions
Companions are always a welcome addition to any DEPS meeting. To encourage them,
we offer companion meal options at an additional cost. Our full meal option includes all meals that
are provided for regular attendees including any evening and specialty functions that may be planned. For
those companions who do not want to be tied to
scheduled meal functions, we also offer a reception only option which includes only the Tuesday
evening reception.
Companion tickets will be available for sale when registration opens and
can be purchased either with your symposium registration, or separately using an online form that will be made available here soon.
Upon arrival, those checking the "companion information needed" box on the registration will be provided a
welcome packet with information on local points of interest. To assist companions in making plans for their stay,
an onsite specialist will meet with interested parties on the first day of the meeting, providing access,
individually or as a group, to local attractions and/or tours.
