Register for Charlotte 2021

COVID-19 UPDATE

The Charlotte, North Carolina Steering Committee is moving forward with the planning of the 57th IWC during this COVID-19 pandemic. We are hopeful that by February 2021, we will be able to gather together once again for our recovery. The IWC is accepting your registrations for all aspects of the conference and the Westin Hotel is also accepting reservations.  If the conference is canceled due to COVID-19, all registration money will be refunded. Let’s hold on to the HOPE we have received in recovery and stay safe and sober during these trying times. 

FAQ

Conference FAQs

REGISTRATION

I am trying to register but cannot login to my account from last year. What do I do?
This is caused by the email address you used last year coming up on the system, and it not allowing a duplicate email address to be used as a username. Please use the Forgot Password button and then look in your junk/spam folder. 9 times out of 10 that is where it ends up. We have had a problem with the Forgot Password button being unavailable. If this happens, you can use another email to create your account or send us an email at LogisticsIWC2021@gmail.com to arrange your registration to be handled over the phone.

How do I register more than one person at the same time?
Each person needs to be registered individually with a separate email address and password. If you want to register more than one person, just make sure that after you have paid for one registration, you log out of your account by using the logout feature on the top left of the page before creating a new account for the next woman. Otherwise, you may accidentally overwrite one registration over the other.

I want to add a tour or souvenir or meal but I already paid for my registration. How do I do that?
You may log back into your account at any time to add and pay for additional items to be added to your registration. You will only be charged for the additional items purchased. However, you will see your other items in your cart but they will be marked as paid and you will not be charged twice.

HOTEL

I am having problems booking my hotel room. What do I do?
Rooms at the Westin are limited preceding the conference and may be sold out for Feb. 15th, 16th, and 17th. However, hotel rooms are available at the Westin on February 18th through the 21st. To check availability, go to https://book.passkey.com/go/ICWConferenceCharlotte.

Where do I park?
Parking is available at the conference host hotel with valet and self-parking options and with in-and-out privileges for $30/day. Registered guests pay $25/day for parking. Notice that there are additional park-and-ride and Lynx light-rail options if you are coming in from the greater Charlotte area.

Your block of hotel rooms have sold out, will you be contracting more rooms for the conference?
Once the host hotel is filled, we will have information available regarding an overflow hotel.
