How do I register a group?
Discounts are available for groups of five or more from the same organization. To register, please provide all registrant details here and review our new policies below as changes have been implemented.

Once the completed details are received, please allow 3-5 business days for an invoice to be provided. A single invoice will be issued for all attendees and can be paid via credit card, check, or wire transfer. Individuals will be invoiced based on the event registration type and their member status. Early bird deadlines are not applicable towards group registrations. Registrations can now only be processed with one form of payment, as multiple forms of payment are prohibited.

Group submissions will not be processed until all information, including payment, is received. Individuals cannot be added to a group after the initial group is processed and will not be provided the group discount. Once the group is initially processed, the registration for that group is closed. Alternatively, individuals already registered cannot be added to a group registration. Existing registrations cannot be used to enhance the discount of a registering group. Please email GroupSubmissions@ACFE.com if you have any questions.
