Registration
The IB online registration system (REGIS) is available:

- following the links available on the conference/workshop pages: www.ibo.org/events
Important: IBIS login credentials are required for all school coordinators whether interested, candidate or IB world schools. If you do not have an IBIS account, please contact the respective programme school services associate in the regional office.
Registration will have to be completed on a per participant basis. There is a limit of maximum 5 participants from the same school attending the same subject workshop.

PYP Introductory 1A or 1B
MYP Introduction
DP Category 1 workshop
To register, please email ibapevents@ibo.org to request for a direct link to register online via REGIS and note that payment mode is via credit card only.
Confirmation of registration
The IB coordinator and individual participants will receive an automatic confirmation email upon successful submission of online registration. All completed registrations are PENDING until there is sufficient enrolment. Only then will registration become CONFIRMED .
Important: IB Asia Pacific reserves the right to cancel workshops that do not receive sufficient enrolment. If IB Asia Pacific cancels a workshop then a full refund will be made to the participant. Please do not finalise your travel and accommodation arrangements until you receive a confirmation that the workshop will run. You are also advised to take out travel insurance as a matter of course to cover unforeseen events such as force majeure.
Changes to registration
A registered participant who is unable to attend should be cancelled from the REGIS system by their coordinator. The cancellation policy below applies.
If there is a replacement of participant or misspelled name, coordinatosr should retrieve the registration order from REGIS directly and request for a name change (click under the participant's name). This function is complimentary until 3 weeks prior to the event start date. This gives co-ordinators the option to register participants under ‘place-holder’ names – with the co-ordinator’s contact details, if there is planned staff turnover for example, and then confirm details later without penalty – provided this is prior to the 3 week deadline. Thereafter, an admin fee of USD80 will apply for each change of participant.
Minor changes to name spelling etc can also be done prior to the event by the co-ordinator, and can also be done onsite when registration details are confirmed in the workshop.
Registration can be transferred from one subject workshop to another by amending the registration form and selecting another workshop (‘activity’). This function can also be carried out by the co-ordinator and is free of charge up to 3 weeks prior to the workshop and is subject to there being places available. Thereafter, an admin fee of USD80 will apply for each change.
Kindly note that we will not accept new registrations onsite, requests to replace participants or application from participants to change subject workshops or categories. IB Asia Pacific will not be responsible for expenses incurred by a school should a participant arrive at an event under such circumstances and not be able to attend a workshop. Participants are advised to print out and bring their Confirmation Email (sent by IBIS/REGIS).

Payment should be made within 2 weeks upon receipt of the automated confirmation email. An invoice can be downloaded from REGIS system by clicking on the billing tab.
