Payment

Registration Fee
The full meeting registration fee for the ISPE conference includes three lunches, the Welcome Reception, the evening at Dynamic Earth, refreshment breaks, the Intro to Pharmacoepi course, and all conference materials. Separate registration is required for the Advanced Topics in Pharmacoepi. All non-members receive ISPE membership (Membership does not include a subscription to Pharmacoepidemiology & Drug Safety.)

Payment by Check
Due to the expense of collecting checks written on non-US accounts, all non-US checks must be from banks with a US counterpart made payable to "ISPE". If a company or university makes payment, please make sure your name is written on the check stub or accompanying correspondence to ensure correct payment.

Payment by Wire Transfer
There is a $20 charge to accept a wire transfer. Call the ISPE office, 301-718-6500 or email at ispe@paimgmt.com to request wire transfer information.

Member Rates
Members of ISPE and EuroDURG are entitled to a reduced member registration rate. Your membership must be current at the time of registration. If your membership has expired and you do not renew your membership at the time of the registration, you will be registered at the non-member rate and receive confirmation indicating a balance due. All non-members will receive ISPE membership (journal not included). If you have any questions about membership, call ISPE at 301-718-6500 or email ispe@paimgmt.com.

Student Rate
Individuals applying for the reduced rate must include documentation of full-time student status (e.g., a clear copy of student ID with a valid date or letter from school or program) at the time of registration. You must be enrolled as a full-time student at the time of the meeting to be eligible for the reduced student rate. If documentation is not received, you will be charged the full rate for the meeting. Attendees enrolled in fellowship programs are not considered full-time students.

One-Day Rate
The One-day rate includes all conference materials, sessions and food functions for the specified date only. The Introduction to Pharmacoepi, Welcome Reception and Dynamic Earth are not included in the daily rate.

Early Registration
To qualify for the early registration fee, your form and payment must be received by ISPE no later than July 15. Registration forms received after that date, either by fax, mail or online, are subject to the late rate. Only early registrants receive the reduced rate and are assured inclusion in the Participants Directory.
