Associate Firms Allowed Up to Eight Representatives Associate member firms in North America and Europe now may send up to eight representatives to the New York World Congress. Associate member firms outside North America and Europe or with offshore operations in Chapter regions may send one representative per country rather than the traditional one representative per Chapter region. Associate non-member firms may send no more than four representatives to New York, as in the past. The official IDRC World Congress badge will be required for admittance to all IDRC World Congress events during the New York Congress. This requirement also applies to attendees' personal guests.
Some events require both badge and tickets.
Display of badge is to ensure that space reserved for registrants is not infringed upon by non-registrants, either unknowingly or purposely. Those not having the proper identification and attempting to enter any of the events will be challenged and may be denied admittance. If a personal guest wishes to attend any World Congress functions, that guest must be registered. Personal guest registration may not be used by co-workers or industry peers. Personal guests who are eligible for IDRC membership must register as members or non-members at full World Congress registration fees.
