Group Discount Information

New for 2023: NCORE encourages groups of ten (10) or more individuals to register together in one transaction to earn 10% off current registration rates. To apply this volume discount, note the following policies / conditions and plan your registration. All must be submitted at the same time to receive the discount. PLEASE NOTE: Once you enter the registration site, payment is only by credit card (Visa, Mastercard, and Discover).

  • You may enter as many registrations as you wish during the transaction; you are not limited to ten. 
  • This volume discount does not apply when modifying registrations, as the threshold and criteria must be met all together with the original registration. Enter your entire group during the same transaction. 
  • Pre-Conference Institute rates are not eligible for group discount pricing.

If you register at an individual registration rate, per our policies, NCORE will not adjust your rate retroactively to a group rate or process a refund for the difference.
