 AEE In-House Seminar Programs
Most of the live seminar programs described in
this catalog can also be arranged to be instructed
on an in-house basis at your facility. Simply call
the number below for further information or to ar-
range a program for your organization.

ADVANTAGES OF IN-HOUSE TRAINING

Most companies realize the importance of keeping key personnel up to
speed on the latest developments in the energy field which impact their deci-
sions. However, having an entire team exposed to the same body of instruc-
tion at the same time has the added benefit of motivating everyone to work
together to accomplish specific goals. In-house programs have a proven
track record of promoting cooperation, involvement, and results-oriented atti-
tudes.

In addition, by having a seminar conducted in-house, you can work with the
course instructor to assure greatest emphasis on those areas most relevant
to your operations and goals. Questions can often be answered in greater
detail than is possible in a seminar whose participants come from many com-
panies.

COST ADVANTAGE
You can train up to 20 members of your staff for one flat fee (or a specified
fee for each additional student up to 65) — AND you won’t have to pay your
employees’ travel costs, nor lose their valuable work time before and after the
seminar. The following fee schedule is applicable for most programs:

4. ONLINE: If you plan to pay by credit card,

If time does not permit you to register in ad-
vance for a live seminar, you may register on-
site; however, you should call the registrar to
confirm that space is available. Credit cards
cannot be accepted onsite for payment of reg-
istration fee, so please bring full payment with
you in the form of a company check. Full pay-
ment must be received prior to the beginning of
the seminar.
Whichever method you select, you will receive a
confirmation of your registration by mail if your
registration is received at least two weeks prior
to the course date. You are encouraged to reg-
ister early, as attendance will be limited to the
first 50 registrants.
REGISTRATION FEES & DISCOUNTS
The fee information for each seminar is provid-
ed on the page of this catalog describing that
seminar. The live seminar registration fee
includes registration, course materials, and re-
freshment breaks. Lunch and hotel room are
not included. All registration fees must be pre-
paid in U.S. dollars in advance of the starting
date of the seminar.
TEAM DISCOUNTS
The team discount applies when two or more
persons from the same company register for the
same live seminar at the same time. For two-day
or multi-day programs, deduct $100 per regis-
trant. For one-day seminars, deduct $50 per reg-
istrant. (Not applicable for online registrations.)

TAKE THE MEMBER RATE WITH
YOUR DECISION TO JOIN AEE NOW
The member rate may be taken by current mem-
bers of AEE (membership number must be pro-
vided), or by those submitting the application for
AEE membership provided on the seminar reg-
istration form, along with the appropriate mem-
bership fee. This will enable you to save $100 on
your registration fee for a two-day live course, as
well as entitling you to the many other benefits of
AEE membership (see back page).
HOTEL RESERVATIONS
& SEMINAR LOCATIONS
Live seminar participants are responsible for
making their own hotel reservations. A block of
rooms has been reserved at the hotel where
each course will take place. In most cases,
these rooms are held up to four weeks prior to
the seminar date. We therefore recommend
that you make your hotel reservations early to
assure availability of space.
Hotel phone numbers are provided in the “Lo-
cations & Dates” section for each live seminar in
this catalog. When you call, be sure to mention
AEE and the name off the program you will be
attending.
HOURS FOR LIVE SEMINARS
Plan to arrive at 8:15 am on the first day of the
seminar for sign-in and onsite registration.
Seminar hours are 9:00 am to 5:00 pm each day
with a one-hour midday break, unless otherwise
specified on your confirmation letter.
CANCELLATION, SUBSTITUTION,
AND TRANSFER POLICY
If you are unable to attend the course for which
you have registered, you can substitute another
person in your place or transfer your registration
to another date or another seminar of equal (or
lesser) value without penalty for a period of one
year following the starting date of the seminar
for which you registered. However, your request
for substitution or transfer must be made in writ-
ing. We can provide a catalog of other courses
and dates available.
All cancellations must be made in writing. For
registrations cancelled 15 days or more prior to
the program date, full paid program fee less a
$200 service charge will be refunded. For regis-
trations cancelled 14 days or less prior to the
program date, the full program fee will be
assessed and no refund will be made. For trans-
fers not used within a one-year period, cancel-
lation policy is based on start date of program
for which original registrant originally registered.
Should a program be cancelled because of
weather, illness, or any other reason, all atten-
dees will be notified as early as possible and our
liability will be limited to the return of the regis-
tration fee.
