Group, Faculty, and Examiner Discounts for Quest Conference Rate Only
(Discounts not applicable to Anniversary Package rate)
Groups of 10 or more receive a $100 discount per registrant off the advance or regular Quest conference registration fee. Registrations must be made as a group. To register a group, select Individual/Group Registration from the drop down, enter the first registrant, and before checkout you will be asked if you wish to register additional attendees. Once you enter the tenth registrant, the discounted fees will be applied. The full conference fee will be charged if cancellations reduce the group to fewer than 10 people. Substitutions may be made at any time.
Full-time academic employees are eligible for discounted fees of $800 (advance) or $950 (regular). A $100 discount is also available to members of the 2012 National Baldrige Program Board of Examiners. The group, faculty and Examiner discounts cannot be combined with any other discounts and are not available for the Quest Anniversary Package.
To register at the discounted rates, select Group of 10+, Examiner, or Education Attendee from the drop down on the Registration landing page. Groups, Faculty, and Examiners may still register for both the conference and the Gala at a lower rate than the Anniversary Package rate by registering for the Quest Conference separately at the discounted rate and adding the Gala as a separate event.
