Not able to attend IAIA22 but still want to take a course on-site?  Not a problem!  A small additional registration fee will apply; see the PDF registration form for details.

Please register early! Courses will be cancelled if they do not reach the minimum number of paid participants by 14 March 2022.   After 14 March, registrations will be accepted subject to availability and receipt of payment up until the 13 April 2022 final registration deadline. In consideration of the trainers and their need to prepare appropriate quantities of course materials, registrants may not change courses after 13 April 2022.
