REGISTRATION INFORMATION
Pre-Conference Session: Registration for this session is separate from the 2019 Fall Conference. Although it is referenced in the conference agenda, it is not included in the price of the conference. For more information, please visit peda.org.
Full Conference Registration: Fees for the 2019 Fall Conference include all refreshment breaks and meals, as indicated on the agenda. Partial conference registration options are listed on the registration form. Anyone only attending receptions will be charged and should contact PEDA in advance.
Hotel Accommodations: The 2019 Fall Conference will be held at the Kovalchick Convention and Athletic Complex (KCAC) in Indiana, Pennsylvania. A room block for our guests has been established at the Hilton Garden Inn Indiana at IUP, adjacent to the KCAC. We’d ask that overnight room reservations, available at a discounted rate of $119/night, be made via our customized registration page. If you need to contact the property directly for any reason, please call 724-349-2222 and reference Group Name “PEDA” to ensure you receive the discounted rate and that your reservation is linked to our block. The deadline to reserve rooms at the PEDA rate is September 26th. After this deadline or once capacity has been reached - whichever comes first - reservations will only be accepted upon availability at prevailing hotel rates.
Sponsorship Opportunities: Sponsorship, display and advertising opportunities are available for this conference. Download the Sponsorship Form for details.
Off-Site Reception: Hosted by the Indiana County Center for Economic Operations, the Tuesday evening reception (informally dubbed a “Taste of Indiana”) will be held at Disobedient Spirits, a local artisan distillery. The evening will feature a delicious assortment of foods as our hosts showcase their local culinary restaurants and caterers. As a compliment to the food, you’ll be treated to hand-crafted distillery cocktails and a variety of craft beers from Levity Brewing Company and Noble Stein Brewing Company, two local microbreweries.
Complimentary group transportation between the KCAC and Disobedient Spirits will be provided and a preliminary schedule has been posted on the conference website. In the interest of your safety and that of others, we request that anyone planning to participate in this reception utilizes the provided transportation or, if circumstances prevent you from doing so, that you speak with a member of PEDA staff, PEDA’s Conference Committee or venue staff to assist in securing alternative means of transportation.
