Registration

Q:  How can I register a group of people under one credit card?
A:   Visit www.pcacep.org/wic06 and enter the Registration page. After clicking “secure online registration” select “register now.” You may choose to register as an individual or for a church. Each option will allow you to register an individual and continue adding registrations to the same process until you are ready to check out.

Q:  Can I place registrations for my church even though I don’t have names of the specific people who will be using the registrations?
A:  Yes! Enter our online registration and select that you are registering for a church. Once you reach the “Attendee Information” page, you will see a note at the top of the page that explains how to register a person “To Be Determined”. After you complete the registration process you will receive an email from the webmaster that includes a confirmation ID that is unique to each individual registration. That ID combined with the email address listed in the registration process will all you to “Return to change your conference registration” through the conference registration webpage. You can use this feature to transfer registrations from one person to another, assign a name to a “TBD” registration”, add pre-conference seminars to your registration or update other contact information.
-back to top-

Q:  What is the cancellation policy?
A:  Registrations are not refundable but are transferable. (Read the answer to the question above as to how to transfer a registration.) Partial or full refunds will be considered by the conference staff in the case of death in the immediate family or a doctor’s order to not travel issued to the attendee or an individual for which the attendee is responsible.
-back to top-

Q:  Is there a limit to the number of conference participants?
A:  Although the CE&P conference staff does not desire to turn anyone away, there may come a point at which decisions will have to be made in order to maintain the integrity of the conference.
-back to top-

Q:  How do I add the pre-conference seminars to my registration?
A:  After you complete the online registration process you will receive an email from the webmaster that includes a confirmation ID that is unique to each individual registration. That ID combined with the email address listed in the registration process will all you to “Return to change your conference registration” through the conference registration webpage. You can use this feature to transfer registrations from one person to another, assign a name to a “TBD” registration”, add pre-conference seminars to your registration or update other contact information.
-back to top-

Q:  I’ve changed my mind! How can I change my pre-conference seminar selections?
A:  Utilize your confirmation ID (that you received from the webmaster immediately after you submitted your registration) and your email address to revisit the registration webpage and choose to “Return to change your conference registration.”

Hotels

Q:  Does registering for the conference secure my hotel room?
A:  No. Registration for the conference does not include hotel reservations. Reserving hotel room(s) is a separate process. -back to top-

Q:  How do I reserve a hotel room?
A:  Visit www.pcacep.org/wic06/accommodations.htm for information regarding the four conference hotels. From this page you can compare the hotels (prices, location, etc.), reserve a room by calling the 800# listed or through the web link constructed specifically for our conference unique to each hotel.
-back to top-

Q:  Do I have to reserve a room at the conference hotels?
A:  Not at all! The conference hotels are an amenity the conference planners are providing for attendees by going ahead of you and negotiating lower prices than individuals could secure on their own. If you live in Atlanta and want to spend the night at home, would like to stay with those you know in Atlanta, or prefer to stay at another hotel, you are certainly welcome to do so! In your planning it would be wise to examine the conference schedule and weigh the value of spending the night downtown rather than travel early/late each day or contend with the city’s traffic.
-back to top-

Q:  What if I can’t reserve a hotel room at my preferred hotel at the special conference rates?
A:  If your first-choice hotel is already full, it would be wise for you to go ahead and reserve a room at your second-choice location. After securing a room, you can still periodically contact your first-choice hotel to see if any rooms have come available, then release your initial reservation.

Scholarships

Q:  Are there scholarships available?
A:  Yes! Because of the generosity of others, CE&P will be able to offer some Conference Cost scholarships. These scholarships will be for conference fees only and will not include hotel accommodations. Our first priority will be missionary and international women who will have high travel cost. Contact the conference registrar to learn about the application process. We encourage you to prayerfully approach your local church and your presbytery for scholarship help first.
-back to top-

Q:  Are there discounts for families, pastors’ wives, missionaries or anyone else?
A:  No. The conference planners were very intentional in the planning process to keep the cost of the conference as low as possible. For this reason, there was no buffer added into registration costs that can be taken off for particular demographics.
 -back to top-

Q:  How can I donate toward scholarships for others?
A:  If you would like to give toward the scholarship fund, you have two options. The registration process presents an opportunity to add a donation toward the scholarship of others. You may also choose to send a check made out to CE&P with the memo: WIC Intl Scholarship Fund (mail to: CE&P; 1700 North Brown Rd; Lawrenceville, GA 30043).

Q:  Can I bring my nursing baby with me?
A:  Yes. We simply ask that you use discretion and be sensitive to the other attendees.
-back to top-

Q:  What meals will be provided during the conference?
A:  Your conference registration covers a banquet that will be served on Saturday night. Those who register for the pre-conference will receive a lunch on Friday. There are dozens of restaurant choices near the Georgia World Congress Center and even inside the conference hotels! Some attendees will bring breakfast and snack foods with them to be kept in their hotel room instead of buying all meals.
-back to top-

Q:  What is the appropriate attire?
A:  Come dressed comfortably!  Bring a sweater or jacket as meeting rooms may be cool.  Good walking shoes are a must. Two opportunities for 'dressing up' at the Saturday night banquet and Sunday.
