Hotel

Ideally located on eight acres of prime beachfront property in Isla Verde, the Ritz-Carlton San Juan is within five minutes of Luis Muñoz Marin International Airport and 15 minutes from historic Old San Juan. The elegant accommodations and gracious service complement four fabulous restaurants, a state-of-the-art spa and a 24-hour 18,500-square-foot-casino.

ABI has arranged for special conference rates of $289 single/double.  To secure the special rate, reservations must be made by January 8, 2007.  Reservations may be made only once you have registered with ABI.  Upon payment of the conference registration fees, you will receive a hotel reservation form with your conference confirmation.  Rooms are held on a first-come, first-served basis.  ABI cannot guarantee anyone a room after the special-rated ABI block is filled.

Continuing Education

Approval for approximately 9.5 hours of CLE credit is available, including 1.5 hours of ethics. CPE credit is also available; mark the appropriate box on the registration form.
*ABI offers intermediate-advanced level courses, which have no prerequisites for attendance. ABI is registered with the National Association of State Boards of Accountancy (NASBA) as a sponsor of continuing professional education on the National Registry of CPE sponsors. State boards of accountancy have the final authority on the acceptance of individual courses for CPE credit. Complaints regarding registered sponsors may be addressed to the National Registry of CPE Sponsors, 150 Fourth Ave. North, Suite 700, Nashville, TN 37219-2417, or www.nasba.org. For more information regarding administrative policies such as complaint and refund, please contact the American Bankruptcy Institute at (703) 739-0800. ABI acknowledges that in some instances there will be persons who need to attend an educational seminar for CLE credit who are not able to pay full registration fees. ABI will handle such instances on a case-by-case basis and will work with the individual on alternative solutions. For persons who cannot meet the full registration rate, ABI will offer a reduced rate based on what the individual can reasonably afford to cover of the cost of meals and materials. For persons unable to pay a reduced rate, we may allow the individual to work at our registration area for a few hours during attendee check-in, or assist in conference set-up. ABI also has reduced rates for government employees, professors, law clerks and students.  For information on tuition assistance, send an e-mail to javersano@abiworld.org.

Cancellation Policy

All fees, except a $75 handling fee, will be refunded if written notice of cancellation is received by January 19, 2007.  No refunds will be granted after January 19, but substitutions will be allowed.
