Conference Information

Hotel

Enjoy a relaxing stay, a convenient location and comforting amenities at the newly renovated Sheraton Philadelphia University City Hotel. Located at 3549 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, PA 19104-3361, on the campus of the University of Pennsylvania, the hotel is the site of the combined CFRP/CRC reception and dinner, and just steps away from The Wharton School and Amtrak’s 30th Street Station. ABI has arranged a special conference rate of $185 per night single/double. Reservations must be made directly with the hotel by Friday October 16, 2015. To secure the reduced rate, reservations may be made only once you have registered with ABI. Upon payment of the conference registration fees, you will receive your hotel reservation information with your conference confirmation. Rooms are held on a first-come, first-served basis. ABI cannot guarantee anyone a room once the specially rated ABI block has been filled.

Travel

Air: Fly into Philadelphia International Airport (PHL).

Ground: The hotel is approximately 7 miles from Philadelphia International Airport. Taxis are available 24 hours a day, and the fare is generally $32 with a travel time of about 20 minutes to the Sheraton. Lady Liberty Shuttle is also available from the airport for a $10 fee; travel time is approximately 30-45 minutes. Call (215) 724-8888 for reservations.

Rail: The Philadelphia Rail Station is less than half a mile from the Sheraton, and taxi fare from the station is generally $5.

Conference Attire

Business attire is requested throughout the conference.

Cancellation Policy

All fees, except a $75 handling fee, will be refunded if notice of cancellation is received in writing by October 15, 2015. No refunds will be made if notice is received after October 15, although substitutions will be allowed. After October 15, upon written request, a coupon for 20% off the registration fee (not including optional events) will be issued, which can be used (by the cancelling registrant only) for any ABI educational program up to one year after this conference, or for this same conference next year.

Continuing Education Credit

6.5 hours of general CLE credit are pending in states calculating CLE on a 60-minute hour, and 7.5 hours of general CLE credit are pending in 50-minute-hour states. Credit hours granted are subject to approval from each state. California MCLE: ABI certifies that this activity has been approved for MCLE credit in the amount of 6.5 hours of general CLE. NY MCLE: This transitional and non-transitional program has been approved in accordance with the requirements of the CLE Board for a maximum of 7.5 credit hours, of which 1.5 hours can be applied toward professional practice. 7.5 hours of CPE credit are also available.

*ABI offers intermediate-level courses, which assume that attendees will have at least some detailed knowledge of insolvency matters (pursuant to the “Statement in Standards for CPE Programs” established by AICPA and NASBA). 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 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 [email protected].

ABI DEFINES A "GUEST" AS A SPOUSE, CHILD OR COMPANION — NOT A PROFESSIONAL COLLEAGUE. A professional colleague is defined as someone who consults with or is employed by an organization eligible for ABI membership. If a professional colleague is found to be registered as a guest, ABI reserves the right to cancel his or her event registration. Any person not meeting the criteria of “guest” who wishes to participate in any ABI function at the conference is required to register separately at the full conference rate.
