Advance registration will begin February 7 and continue until April 20. Advance registration in the workshops is highly recommended to prevent cancellation of, or lack of space in, the workshops that you wish to attend.
One regular registration fee (Member or Non-member fee) at the advance registration rate must be paid by one of the authors of a paper accepted to the conference before the final version of the paper can be uploaded for inclusion in the conference proceedings. Please note that a Student/Retiree conference registration is not a regular registration fee and cannot be used to upload the final version of your paper for inclusion in the conference proceedings.
Payment should be made by credit card.
If absolutely necessary, those who are unable to pay by credit card can submit a check or money order in U.S. currency with a U.S. banking system routing number payable to 2009 ACC. Please start this process early since until your payment is received and cleared you will not be able to upload your papers. To pay by check or money order, you should first register on-line for the conference as described below. Indicate when you register which type of payment you are using. The on-line system will generate an e-mail acknowledgement at the time of payment. Print the e-mail acknowledgement and mail it along with your check or money order to the Registration Chair at the following address:
Professor May-Win Thein
Registration Chair, 2009 ACC
Department of Mechanical Engineering
W117 Kingsbury Hall
Durham, NH 03824-3591
Ph: 603-862-1158
Purchase orders, bon de commandes, promissory notes, bank transfers, etc., will not be accepted.
Please note that if an author has uploaded a paper using his or her registration, the registration will not be refunded even if the paper is withdrawn. Other requests for a refund of the advanced registration fee that are received by the advance registration deadline, April 20, will be fully refunded. Requests received between April 20 and May 29 will receive a 50% refund. There will be no refunds for requests received after May 29.
Wireless internet access will be provided in the foyer areas of both conference floors at the hotel. Access is also free in the lobby of the hotel.
Following tradition, the 2009ACC will be holding a welcoming reception to celebrate the opening of the conference. You and your guests are welcome to join us from 6:30-9:30pm for cocktails and hors d’oeuvres.
There will be no Speaker’s breakfast in the 2009 ACC.
Please join us at the annual ACC Awards Ceremony, where the AACC awards will be given to the awardees.
The award ceremony will be followed by ACC Conference Luncheon. Extra Luncheon tickets may be ordered at the time of Advance Registration. Alternatively, Luncheon tickets may be purchased at the Registration Desk (subject to availability).
Full-Registration attendees who do not plan to attend the Conference Luncheon are encouraged to return their Luncheon tickets to the Registration Desk at their earliest convenience to enable students to attend the Luncheon in their place.
Registrants and their guests are invited to attend the Closing Reception in the Grand Ballroom DE from 6:30-9:00 pm. All are welcome to relax, enjoy the completion of the 2009 ACC, and wish a fond farewell to colleagues and friends.
The ACC semi-annual luncheon meeting of the IEEE Control Systems Society Standing Committee on “Women in Control” will be held at The Hyatt Riverfront Hotel, Park View Room, Wednesday, June 10, 11:30 a.m. – 1:15 p.m. The “Women in Control” Committee promotes membership, gathers and disseminates appropriate information about women in the IEEE Control Systems Society and the profession and facilitates the development of mentoring and programs to promote the retention, recruitment, and growth of women CSS members. The meeting is a nice occasion where to get to know new members of our scientific community and catch up with existing members. Moreover, it is a forum where issues such as international research programs, funding opportunities, information about IEEE membership grades, and other timely topics are discussed. All women participants in the American Control Conference 2009 are kindly invited.
