How to Register

NEW THIS YEAR! All registrations are completed online at pmac.ca/confreg. Once personal information and options are entered, you can pay immediately by credit card to complete the registration. If paying by cheque, you must print the registration record and send it along with your payment. Registrations must be prepaid and will be processed only with payment. When paying by cheque, please note that registration will occur only when PMAC National office confirms receipt of the cheque. Please keep this in mind if you are taking advantage of the early registration deadline. Cheques are payable to “Purchasing Management Association of Canada”.  If you require a paper trail for internal procurement processes, please print the registration record. Walk-in registrations will be accommodated if space permits and if accompanied by a credit card.

Session Pre-Selection

All delegates are asked to indicate their “preferred” education session for each time block. Seating will be on a first-come, first-served basis and delegates remain free to switch sessions. However, this information will allow us to assign education sessions to appropriately sized rooms.
