Carlsbad, California April 26-29, 2026 at the Omni La Costa
Update
Registration for the Spring 2026 meeting at the Omni La Costa in Carlsbad, CA on April 26-26 will open on Monday February 16, 2026 at 8 AM EST. An email will be sent announcing the opening and an email from CVent will be sent with an invitation to register.
There are some modifications to the registration system for this meeting, as we are trying to improve the system and make sure everyone gets notices. We know from comments that not everyone receives all the ICC emails, whether from CVent or other systems. In order to try and ensure that everyone who wants to receive ICC email notices does receive them, we have added an optional personal email entry to the registration system. If you haven’t been receiving ICC emails, but would like to, please enter your personal email address and then ICC emails will be sent to both your work and personal emails to make sure you receive them.
