How to Register

There are two ways to register for the IPS 2000 Conference: either by mail or by fax. Please do not submit more than one registration form. Submission of more than one registration form may result in redundant charges to your account. Note that you MUST be a current IPS member to attend the Conference as a delegate: if you plan to attend but are not a current member, please read the IPS Membership information.

Conference Registration Form (Mail or Fax)

The Conference Registration Form may be submitted either by mail or by fax. PostScript and Acrobat (version 4) (.pdf) versions of the registration form can be downloaded from the official IPS 2000 website.

You may mail the completed form and accompanying payments to the Secretariat at the address provided above. You may fax the registration form and credit card payment information to: +1 514 872-8102. When registering by mail, you may pay using Visa, MasterCard, International money order, certified cheque or bank draft.

A credit card is the only acceptable payment when registering by fax. Credit card payment will be debited in Canadian funds. Payment is due when the registration form is submitted. Certified cheques, bank drafts and money orders should be made payable to "IPS 2000". A combination of payment methods may be used for different functions provided there are clear instructions in writing for applying the various payments at the time of registration.

You will receive an acknowledgement of your payment(s) within two weeks of receipt by the Secretariat. If you do not receive such an acknowledgement, please contact Nicole Patenaude at the Planétarium de Montréal, npatenaude@ville.montreal.qc.ca. We recommend bringing in a copy of your acknowledgement to the Conference in the event there has been an error in processing your registration.
