Also for the first time ever we will have a “New To Convention/Student Council” program for advisors looking for more info and ideas on Thursday when you arrive.
Here are a few things to note about the upcoming convention. There are several restaurants, shops and historical places within walking distance of the hotel.

Registration Information
This year all convention registration will be conducted online to eliminate paper waste and reduce the number of forms advisors have to keep track of. The registration process can be started here. You will simply input the information on your delegation into the form and click Submit. The form will display a confirmation page including the total amount due. Please be sure to print this page, complete the signatures, and return with your payment. In addition, you will need to complete a Hotel Room Listing form to let us know which students are staying in which room. This form must be returned with your confirmation and payment. Additionally, each student must bring a completed and signed Medical Release/Code of Conduct form, and advisors must bring the Advisor Committment form to the convention. These forms should not be mailed to the host school.
All forms and payments must be postmarked by April 15, 2020 March 25, 2020. If you register late, you will be expected to pay a $25 late fee at the convention. Registration, meals, and t-shirt fees are non-refundable.
Each school is allowed an unlimited number of Delegates and Honor Delegates. Only students who have applied for Honor Delegate Positions and received confirmation from the IASC Executive Board are considered Honor Delegates.
