Why is the deadline for the early bird rate on January 31? This is a true hardship for me, as I won't have the funds to register until I get my tax refund in February at the earliest, possibly not until I get my annual bonus in March. What was the reasoning behind moving this deadline ahead so far?

I agree with James. A January early bird deadline, for an event in late July, is very early and a hardship for a lot of us.

Thank you for this question. Since registration is open much earlier than it has been in the past for Summit 2018, the dates were adjusted accordingly.

If there are extenuating circumstances that prevent you from utilizing the early bird fee before January 31, 2018, please contact IAAP headquarters directly.

We hope to see you in Austin!
