Groups Rates
Register five individuals from the same company and receive complimentary registration for the sixth! All six individuals must register and prepay at the same time – no exceptions. DIA will apply the value of the lowest applicable fee to this complimentary registration; it does NOT include fees for optional events or DIA membership. You may substitute group participants of the same membership status at any time; however, administrative fees may be incurred. Group registration is not available online and does not apply to the already-discounted fees for government or charitable nonprofit/academia.
To take advantage of this offer, please complete a registration form for EACH of the six registrants from your company, as well as payment. Include the names of all six group registrants on each of the forms under the group category of the form and return them together to CustomerService@DIAglobal.org. Once received DIA will determine what participant will receive the complimentary registration, based on lowest applicable fee.
