A Note on Costs
ABA worked extensively to keep costs as low as possible for Ci2026 attendees. These prices reflect the rising cost of food in general and the high cost of hosting events. We have made several changes to this Institute in order to help manage the registration cost for booksellers. For example:
Breakfast options have been simplified.
We’ve reduced the number of free drink tickets for each attendee.
While the registration fee is higher than previous Institutes, ABA continues to subsidize the cost for each attendee.
