This conference is primarily supported by our Suppliers and it is imperative that we, as Airline participants, engage in all of the programs. The knowledge you will gain from the breakout sessions and the new contacts you will make with both Airline and Supplier participants will prove to be rewarding and useful. 

Participation in any Supplier sponsored event or invitation for 24 hours on Sunday, 24 hours on Monday and on Tuesday until 3 pm, August 19 – 21, 2012 is in direct conflict with the ACPC Airline Rules and Guidelines.  This conflict could result in the offending Airline’s attendees being disqualified from receiving the benefit of a free/gratis registration ($800.00 USD value) to future ACPC conferences.  Airlines are free to participate in Supplier sponsored invitations all day on Friday 8/17, all day on Saturday 8/18, except between 4:30PM to 6:30 PM, when your presence is requested at the Welcome Reception.  It is also permissible to accept a Supplier invitation on Tuesday, August 21st after 3 pm.

Only one Spouse/Guest is permitted per airline attendee and you are required to pay the social registration fee. There will be no onsite/walk-up registrations accepted at the conference. Please refer to the ACPC Rules and Guidelines posted on www.acpc.com
