What is the registration cost?
NAEP member and non-member types each have different registration rates, which you can see in detail on our registration page.
Do I have to pay up front or can I pay later?
You can chose when you pay! You have the option to pay upon completing your registration using a credit card, though if you would prefer to pay later or someone else will be paying your registration fee, simply select the "Invoice Me" option at checkout. This will email you an invoice that you can use to pay later, or forward to your employer and/or finance team to complete.
All registration fees must be paid prior to the event. Invoicing may be turned off closer to the event date to ensure timely payment for late registrations.
I am a Government Employee and my employer needs to approve my attendance before I can register. Can you send me an invoice?
If your employer must approve your attendance before paying for your registration, you can submit the registration form as a temporary RSVP and select, "Invoice Me" on the payment page to produce an open invoice. Our registration system will send you auto-reminders about your open invoice but you are not committeed to attend until approval.
All registration fees must be paid prior to the event. Invoicing may be turned off closer to the event date to ensure timely payment for late registrations so make your request early.
Can I register multiple people?

I am the credit/purchase cardholder for my organization...can I register our employees?
No. Each attendee must register individually in order to agree to the event policies. But, they can chose to be invoiced for the registration fee so that the cardholder can pay later. They will receive an invoice with a click-to-pay link that they can forward to you, or you can call our office to do a payment over the phone.
Can I register someone else using my NAEP Profile?
No! If you register another person using your own NAEP profile, you will be overriding your own membership information, including your username, contact name, and all personal information. If you want to register someone else on their behalf, you will need to create a new profile for them.
What is the cancellation policy?
All cancellations must be submitted to NAEP in writing. Cancellations received by April 15, 2022 will be refunded in full. Cancellations received after April 15, 2022 will receive no refund.

Assumption of Risk: The novel coronavirus, COVID-19, has been declared a worldwide pandemic by the World Health Organization. COVID-19 is reported to be extremely contagious. The state of medical knowledge continues to evolve, but the virus is believed to spread through airborne particles, person-to-person contact, and contact with contaminated surfaces and objects. People can be infected and show no symptoms and therefore spread the disease. To date, there is no known treatment or cure for COVID-19. Evidence has shown that COVID-19 can cause serious and potentially life-threatening illness and even death.
By registering for this event you understand that NAEP cannot prevent me from becoming exposed to, contracting, or spreading COVID-19 while attending this course. I understand that by choosing to attend this course, I may be exposing myself to and/or increasing my risk of contracting or spreading COVID-19.
