Enrollment for Sessions: We are taking extra time creating the best agenda. We are
confident that this year’s agenda will be the best ever.
There are limited seats at CEIC 2012. Register early to guarantee your admission to the conference. Make sure when you register for the conference you accept emails from us so that you receive the Session Enrollment email notification.

Someone who registers in October 2011 will have the chance to enroll in their preferred session before attendees who register in January 2012. Session enrollment will open a week early for Super Early Bird, then one week later for Regular Early Birds, etc.
Program Changes: We work very hard to assemble a top-notch, cohesive, educational program; however, despite our best efforts, faculty and program schedules may change. Unanticipated or last minute changes to the program happen. Speakers may cancel without sufficient notice to allow us to engage a substitute. We do our best to keep these at a minimum. We will keep you informed of any unavoidable changes via email and through on-site updates.

The majority of all attendees state that the labs are the number one reason that they attend CEIC.

There will be numerous tracks, which will allow you to get into the sessions of your choice.

A team of industry experts makes up the CEIC Speaker Panel who oversee topic and presenter selection.

In many cases, the presenter has developed their own abstract to match their presentation.

I can attend the conference?
We understand some International Governments and Organizations require an official invitation to send employees to our conference.

We give strict guidelines to all of our presenters to create content aimed at further educating our attendees. Presenters are instructed to create educational materials and keep all topics to the pre-accepted guidelines. From time to time however, we do have vendors that ignore our guidelines and develop a sales/marketing geared presentation. For 2012 we have developed event stricter guidelines and with the help of our speaker committee.
