Fees

IHI may, at its discretion, cancel, postpone, or otherwise modify in-person programmes at any time, with or without notice. If IHI does so and as a result, a registrant is unable to participate in the programme, IHI will refund the registration fee. The registrant, however, will remain responsible for other costs (such as travel and lodging) the registrant incurs in connection with the programme, and IHI will not refund the registrant, nor otherwise be responsible for, such costs. Registrants should proceed accordingly and consider travel/lodging cancellation policies — as well as purchasing travel insurance — when incurring such costs. IHI asks registrants to take into consideration the currently evolving situation and advisories related to COVID-19 before incurring travel, lodging, and other costs related to this event.​

​​​​Regular Rate: $4,995 USD per person
Group Rate: $4,245.75 USD per person (groups of three or ​more save 15%)

PLEASE NOTE: ​Rates do not vary by location. We encourage (but do not require) organisations to send at least two people to this programme because there are two tracks within the program: one dedicated to trainin​g future Improvement Advisors and one for training future Directors. Participants have the option to select their track, and we've heard from past attendees that having two representatives at this programme has helped immensely upon return to their home organisation.
