Not a QSA, ISA, PCIP, sponsor or employee of a participating organization AND interested in attending the North American community meeting in Vancouver?
Two paths are available.
- Become a PCIP ($2245 USD for course and exam) and register for the meeting ($1295 USD). Total costs $3540, but you are now a PCIP ( includes first three years of qualification and account maintenance).
- Become a participating organization ($3500 USD Annual) and receive two free community meeting registrations. And reduced registration for other employees ($495 USD).
Which path is more cost effective for you depends on:
- how many employees your organization will send to the community meeting.
- whether you plan on attending future community meetings.
- how you value the other benefits of the PCIP plan and being a Participating organization.
And don’t forget to include the price (and availability) of Vancouver hotel rooms. I hear supply is tightening and prices are rising. Here is an Expedia link if it helps.
