Conference Registration 

A new policy has been established that registration for all conferences is for Members Only.

Registration for the Annual covers all events from Sunday evening through Thursday afternoon and those who pay in-person fees may also access virtual sessions during or after the conference ends.

We are so excited to announce a new opportunity for conference attendees to attend a Group Event that we are extending the Early Bird Registration deadline to March 29 to make sure you can join us at the best price!  We have arranged a special group seating at historic Wrigley Field for Monday night, May 6th from 6:40pm - close for the Chicago Cubs vs San Diego Padres.  Please go the the event page for more information.

We want everyone to experience the great benefits of being a PIUG member! All non-members will receive a complementary membership for the rest of 2024 with their conference registration.  Use the "New Member" code to sign up and start taking advantage of everything PIUG has to offer today!

It is also suggested that if you would qualify for a lower Membership Rate (i.e. retiree, student, unemployed or from an Emerging Country) that you first go to the Membership Page and join prior to registration.
