BEFORE YOU COMPLETE THE REGISTRATION FORM, please be sure that you have read all of the 19th NCARC 2024 information on this website and have your Ikebana International membership number with you ready to input. The website provides details on the conference schedule, registration packages, workshop/program descriptions, meal selections, and guest options that you will need to complete your registration. Full conference registration is required to register for workshops.

Payment will be made electronically through PayPal directly from the registration form. You do not need to have a PayPal account; the option to pay with a debit or credit card is available on registration form. BE ADVISED that payment is required before clicking the SUBMIT (and Pay) button at the end of the registration form. Unpaid submissions will be discarded, and you will be contacted by Registration to resubmit the form.

IMPORTANT PAYMENT INFORMATION FOR OVERSEAS REGISTRATION

In order to minimize the possibility of your registration payment being declined through PayPal, please consider contacting your credit card issuer before trying to submit your registration form. You should alert them of your upcoming transaction and provide the following information:

1. You will be attending a conference in the U.S. in October and must make a registration payment.

2. The transaction will be processed through PayPal / Jotform

3. The payee will be Ikebana International Philadelphia 71 which is a charitable organization.

4. The amount could be over $1000.

Some countries may have restrictions/limits on amounts that can be paid via credit card to overseas charities if such payments are even allowed. Without checking with your card issuer first, an unusual foreign payee transaction could flag the credit card account as having potential fraudulent activity which may result in your credit card being temporarily frozen.

If you encounter a problem with PayPal informing you that a payment has been declined due to international restrictions, please contact Lynn Ryan, Registration Chair, at regis.19ncarc@gmail.com.

CONFERENCE GUEST/ACCOMPANYING PERSON

A Guest/accompanying person is defined as a family member or individual living in the same household as the conference attendee completing the registration form but who is not a current member of Ikebana International. Non-member friends and acquaintances are not eligible to attend the conference.

We offer a guest package rate as well as separate pricing for events (that are included in the registered attendee event package), i.e. banquet and demonstration attendance. Event registration options for a guest are found at the end of the Attendee Event Options on the registration form. Guests are not eligible to attend workshops and forums as those events are only available to I. I. member attendees.

We certainly encourage members to have their friends and acquaintances become members of Ikebana International so that they can attend the conference. Please be aware that you must be a full I. I. member for the 2024 membership year (July 1, 2024 – May 31, 2025) in order to attend the conference.

If you have any questions about registration, please contact Lynn Ryan, Registration Chairperson, at regis.19ncarc@gmail.com.
