There are three ways to register for the Leadership Institute Meeting:

The Leadership Institute Meeting registration includes admission to sessions/tracks, meeting materials, two continental breakfasts, two lunches and two receptions.

All attendees must be current members of PMI and the component under which they are registering.

Official Complimentary Component Representative:
One (1) designated representative per PMI Component may participate in this Leadership Institute Meeting at no charge. 

Special Code Needed to Receive Complimentary Registration:
A special code number will be e-mailed to component Presidents/Chairs by PMI Global Operations Center. It is at the discretion of the component President/Chair to assign the component's one free registration to him/herself or to another Board member. In order to receive the complimentary registration, the leader must enter this special code when registering for the Leadership Institute Meeting.

Additional Component Representatives:
Additional representatives may attend for a nominal fee covering the costs of meals and meeting materials at  $75.00 per day ($150.00 for the full meeting). If one representative is already registered for your component, all additional representatives must include payment with the registration form. All payments must be paid in full prior to participation in the Leadership Institute Meeting. Additional registrant payments will be accepted and processed on site at the Leadership Institute Meeting.

Confirmation of Registration:
All registrants will receive confirmations from PMI registration via e-mail within seven

(7) to ten (10) business days of receipt. If an e-mail address is not provided, confirmation will be sent via fax. Confirmation will be sent via postal mail to registrants who did not provide an e-mail or fax number.

Cancellation Policy:
Meeting arrangements such as housing room blocks, food, beverage orders and meeting materials are based upon registration numbers. Hotels and meeting facilities require guaranteed numbers and base their pricing on registration numbers and hold to those dollar figures regardless of whether the numbers are met. In order to continue to provide PMI leaders quality events at low costs, the following fees for cancellation and non-attendance will apply.

Cancellation Fees:
A $25.00 (US) cancellation fee will be applied to all Leadership Institute Meeting attendee cancellations. Cancellation fees are the responsibility of the individual and/or their respective component. If a cancellation fee payment is not received within 45 days, PMI Global Operations Center will deduct the cancellation fee from the registered attendee's designated component dues rebate.

Refunds:
Requests for refunds must be made in writing to PMI at pmilac@wyndhamjade.com. Full refunds, less

$15.00 (US) processing fee per registrant, will be granted for cancellations received in writing prior to 26 October 2007. Refunds less $25.00 (US) per registrant will be granted to written requests received between 27 October 2007 and 2 November 2007, but registration substitutions may be made in writing without penalty. All applicable refunds will be issued following the close of PMI Global Congress 2007—LA. Refunds will not be given to those registrants who do not attend without advance cancellation notice.

Substitutions:
Registered attendee substitutions are permissible if they are received in writing by PMI Registration and Housing within 10 business days prior to the start of the meeting. The original registrant must submit the name and contact information of their substitute via e-mail or post mail. No on-site substitutions will be permitted without written and signed authorization from the original registered attendee.

"No-Show Fee" for Individuals Registered under a Component's Complimentary Registration:
Individuals who do not cancel their complimentary registration prior to the meeting and subsequently do not attend the Leadership Institute Meeting will be charged $30.00 (US) per registered day. If payment is not received within 45 days, the total amount will be charged against the designated component's dues rebate from PMI Global Operations Center.
