REGISTRATION:  GLOBAL SUMMIT

1. How do I apply to register for the Global Summit?  Anyone who is not attending as a guest of a sponsoring organization must apply for a registration. Visit our Attend page for attendee application open, close and notification dates.

2. How do you determine who to accept? ChIPs strives to have equal participation between law firm and corporate attendees with the remainder of our attendees coming from the government, academia and nonprofit sectors. Where any particular group of attendees is oversubscribed, we consider a number of factors in accepting registration applications, including:
   • diversity of background;
   • level of involvement in ChIPs leadership;
   • leading ChIPs committee or chapter initiatives.

3. When will sponsor attendee registration open? Sponsor attendee registration is expected to open in early June. Invitations to register as a sponsored attendee will come from direct from the sponsor.

4. What is the registration deadline? Sponsor and individual registration closes on Friday, August 16. After August 16, if capacity permits those on the waitlist will be invited. 

5. What is your registration cancellation and refund policy?  There are no refunds for confirmed registrations. If you registered as an individual (not as as a sponsor or guest of a sponsor) and are no longer able to attend, please email us globalsummit@chipsnetwork.org by Monday, September 16, 2019. If you booked a hotel room you are responsible for ensuring the room is released a minimum of 72 hours prior to your arrival date. If you registered as a sponsor or guest of a sponsor please contact the sponsor directly.

6. Do you allow on-site substitutions for Summit? On-site substitutions are not permitted.

7. Can a sponsor buy additional registration tickets? Unfortunately, we are not able to sell any additional registrations. Our sponsorship packages are built so that we can ensure an equal ratio of corporate attendees to law firm attendees. We encourage anyone additional who is interested in attending to apply but priority will be given to underrepresented attendee types (e.g., government, non profit, academic).

8. Can I swap out corporate registrations for additional law firm registrations or vice versa? No, our capacity it set to that we have a specific ratio of corporate, law firm & government attendees.
