IAIA pre-conference training courses are presented primarily by IAIA members. The courses are open to all participants but require advance registration and payment.

IAIA14 pre-conference training courses will be held from 09:00 - 17:00 on Sunday, 6 April, and Monday, 7 April. The courses will be held at the congress center.

IAIA's 2-day courses cost US$395. One-day courses are US$225. This fee includes course materials, light lunches, and coff ee breaks. Participants in the training courses who are not registered for the IAIA conference will be assessed an additional US$75 fee. Course fees must be paid in full before you will be enrolled in the training course.

Please register early! Courses will be cancelled if they do not reach the minimum number of paid participants by 15 February 2014.
