Registrants choosing the member rate must be members in good standing when their registration is processed. Those persons who join AMIA at the same time as registering for the Summit will receive the discounted member registration rate.

AMIA is pleased to offer members of the International Society for Computational Biology (ISCB) member rates. Please check off the appropriate box when registering. Current membership status will be verified with ISCB.

** Student category is reserved for current full-time undergraduate, graduate students, and post-doctoral fellows. An official letter from the student's university or institution stating full-time status of student must accompany or follow the meeting registration form before these rates will be honored. If AMIA does not receive letter by the opening day of the meeting, the registrant will be charged full rates appropriate for the time that they registered for the meeting.

Cancellation Policy
Cancellation of a meeting registration does not constitute cancellation of a hotel room. Please be sure to handle both separately. Cancellation of tutorials is subject to the same cancellation policy. Written cancellation and refund requests received:

* By January 18, 2008 - Full refund minus $50 processing fee
* Between January 18 and February 29, 2008 - 50% refund
* After February 29, 2008 - No refund will be given. However, registrations can be transferred to another member of your organization.

Payment
Payment must be in US dollars and payable through a US bank. Accepted forms of payment include personal or company check, money order, VISA, MasterCard, or American Express. Registration will not be extended to any individual with an outstanding balance due to AMIA. Purchase orders from paying institutions will be accepted in lieu of the above, but attendees are responsible for payment of fees in the event the institution does not pay within 60 days after invoicing by AMIA. Purchase orders will not be accepted from institutions with outstanding balances.

Transfer of Paid Registrations
Registrants who are unable to attend the meeting may transfer their registration to another person. Transfer of registration must be in writing and received by the AMIA office by March 3 or presented on-site. If a member registration is transferred to a non-member, that person will have to pay the difference between a member and a non-member rate.
