Confused? We Can Help!
Q. I am an “industry colleague.” Why is my registration $2,750?
A. We have a policy which requires consultants, attorneys, vendors and manufacturers to sponsor at least at the Silver level. This allows those participants to take advantage of the intimate venue, quality program, and networking opportunities that, together, make for a superb marketing environment. Registration at the Industry Colleague level, therefore, includes Silver Sponsorship. For more information, view the sponsorship details here. To sign up, contact the NIPPC office at (206) 624-1546.
Q. I am a speaker. Do I still need to register?
A. Yes! All presenters must register for the conference. This is so you can be registered as an attendee with all our other participants, reserve a hotel room, and sign up for any additional Conference activities.
Q. I am a sponsor. Do I still need to register?
A. Yes! All sponsors must register for the conference. This is so you can be registered as an attendee, with all our other participants, reserve a hotel room, and sign up for any additional Conference activities.
Q. Can I bring a spouse or friend?
A. Yes. There are many things to do at Alderbrook and NIPPC’s informal boat cruise with appetizers and drinks on Sunday evening is for everyone to enjoy. You can also sign up to bring a guest with you to the reception and Banquet festivities on Monday evening, for a fee. Add your guests onto your registration form at any time.
Q. How do I book an activity?
A. All activities should be booked through and paid for on NIPPC’s registration site. Note your password when you register, then you can go back into your record and add activities or a dinner guest at any time. Activities at the Alderbrook Resort which are not associated with the Conference (kayaking, spa, etc) should be booked with the Resort directly.
Q. How do I reserve a room at Alderbrook?
A. Please fill out the Lodging Page of the registration form to reserve a room at Alderbrook. If you would like a room beyond our two conference nights, call our on-site Housing Coordinator, Michelle Knox at Alderbrook. Her direct line is 360-898-5522. Or you can email her at: michelle.knox@alderbrookresort.com and mention “NIPPC Meeting” in your subject line. Please see the Accommodations page for detailed instructions and room rates.
Q. Where can I stay if Alderbrook is full?
A. There are two nearby alternatives to Alderbrook: Robin Hood Village and the Little Creek Casino. Contact information for both is listed on our Accommodations page.
Q. What is the dress code?
A. The dress code is business casual, except for the Banquet, which is slightly dressier. Women, please be aware that there are cobblestone paths and grassy areas when choosing shoes.
