Absolutely and you’ll find that it’s quite the buzz during the event with attendees engaging and connecting virtually even on the go. You’ll also find that it’s packed full of information and this year, in an effort to be more sustainable, IPI is reducing our onsite Program Guide content and including it in the mobile app. It’s also a useful tool to start planning your session participation and getting to know other attendees long before your feet hit the ground in Orlando not to mention some fun incentives and hidden treasures for those who really like to get engaged! You can find the mobile app in the Google Playstore or Apple App Store by searching for IPI2018 beginning in late March/early April. |
||||||||
First of all, welcome and we’re glad you’ve decided to join us; you won’t regret it! Second of all, we encourage you to attend the first-timer breakfast bootcamp and let us know if you need a Conference Guide to help you navigate the show (it’s pretty big and can be pretty overwhelming with so many options and so much going on at once). Be sure to download the conference mobile app from the Google Playstore (late March/early April) or APP Store. |
||||||||
We are happy to have you join us to walk our show floor for you to evaluate the IPI Conference & Expo as a potential market for your company. |
||||||||
The Call for Presentations is closed for 2018. For more information, including the submission process for future events, contact Kathleen Federici, federici@parking.org, with any questions. You may also want to consider being a Learning Lab presenter. Learning Labs are held on the show floor during show hours and open to expo hall attendees. There is a fee to be a Learning Lab presenter. For more details, visit our website or contact us at exhibits@parking.org.

Hotel, Property, and Travel |
||||||||
This year's IPI Conference & Expo will be held at the Gaylord Palms Resort & Convention Center. Reservations are now open and close on May 10, 2018. Please note: While the hotel cut-off date is May 10, please be aware that IPI contracted blocks may fill prior to the date so book your accommodations early! |
||||||||
The hotel cut-off is May 10th, however, please be aware, this only means that the IPI contracted block of rooms is available to book up until that date, based on availability Many of our properties sell out well in advance of the cut-off date. Book early! |
||||||||
Deep breath! We want you there as much as you want to be there but we’ve got to be honest, we do not hold any sub-blocks or spare rooms in our back pocket. And when the cut-off date is gone, we have just a wee bit more pull than you do to try to get you in one of our properties at the IPI negotiated rate, however, we will always give you 150% effort to make it happen. If you have missed the deadline, please contact Michelle Jones at mjones@parking.org for assistance. |
||||||||
You can certainly book at any hotel property you desire and we understand that some of you may have your own organizations rules of travel, requiring you to stay at a specific hotel chain, however, there are multiple benefits to both you, the attendee and to IPI, the organization for this sort of partnership.
|
||||||||
None of our properties will contact you initially to book your hotel. These are pop-up entities that prey on convention traffic to run scams or meet quotas. Often times they will book your room but later you will find out that you don’t have a room onsite or you pay additional fees. These “room pirates” are extremely unscrupulous and are often long gone by the time the event rolls around. We strongly encourage you to book inside IPI’s block to protect yourself and reap the benefits of IPI’s negotiated concessions and messaging service during the event. |

||||||||
We’re glad you asked. So here’s what we know. Adult learners learn best in a variety of methods and repetitive hour long lectures aren’t as conducive as we would like to think. We also know that some of the best connections happen when and where you least expect it. With that knowledge, we planned some activities that would accomplish a few things: 1. Get you outside of a classroom
2. Get you outside your comfort zone or inside your comfort zone so you are primed to network 3. Connect people with similar passions at the beginning of the week so you start the week off on the right foot 4. Created a registration form that will allow you to add those to your registration, but also allow you to pay for those on your personal card if your organization isn’t as forward-thinking as we are. We can’t have you come all the way to Orlando and never see anything other than the Convention Center. PS – Mystery Evening Experiences have limited availability so sign up early as we’re sure a few of them are guaranteed to max out quickly! |
||||||||
Great question! You must register all? of your staff at one time during one process to receive those rates. The registration form will allow you to add multiple registrants to the initial registration prior to submitting your payment details. And if different departments have to use different credit cards; no worries, our form can handle that as well. |
||||||||
No, you do not have to be an IPI member to attend the 2018 IPI Conference & Expo, however, you can save money on your conference registration if your organization joins today! |
