Registration

The information below describes areas you should consider as you complete your planning.

Attendee Rates

2009 registration rates, Early Bird discounts, and deadlines are in planning.

Significant Other Special Rate

Esprit's Significant Others Program will continue to offer its special registration rate for couples as a continued incentive for Significant Others to attend what is considered by many to be the best program in the US. Rates are in in planning.

Note that attendance in the unique educational offerings of the SO program are typically limited only to genetic female partners of TG attendees. This is to ensure that the classes and counseling for SO's are as beneficial as possible for these attendees.

Payment and Deadlines

For maximum privacy and to minimize processing expenses, registrations are accepted only via mail and payment must be made by check or money order in US dollars made out to Esprit. Do NOT send cash. Space is limited to approximately 160 attendees and early registration is recommended.

Registration forms and payment must be received at the PO Box by May 2, 2009 (estimated 2009 deadline). Anything received after that will not be processed. Registrations at the door may be possible if space permits.

Refunds will be made only upon written request. For your planning purposes, estimated deadlines are as follows: requests postmarked on or before March 31, 2009 are eligible for a full refund. Requests postmarked between April 1, 2009 and April 30, 2009 inclusive are eligible for a 50% refund. No refunds if postmarked on or after May 1, 2009.

Accommodations

The registration fee does not include hotel accommodations. You must make your own housing arrangements at a hotel of your choice. The Red Lion is the choice of most attendees but less expensive hotels are available just a few blocks away. See the accommodations page for more details.

Meals and Services

You will be served meals only for the days for which you have registered. Meals are tentatively planned as follows:

Friday Fashion Show lunch
Friday Talent Show dinner
Saturday Awards lunch
Saturday Graduation dinner
Sunday Farewell brunch

As a registered attendee you will receive an attendee's photo badge, a yearbook, admission to all classes and events as defined on the schedule (note that some events such as the High Tea involve additional cost), meals as specified above, access to the clothing exchange, and access to all on-site resource providers. Additional food and drink, resource provider services and products, transportation, lodging, and other expenses not listed as included are not covered.
