Why did IPEIA move the Conference and Exhibition to Jasper?
We had a great run hosting the conference at Banff each year. Last year, we made the switch to Jasper, which is just a bit north in the Canadian Rockies. Based on last year’s turnout and feedback, attendees are thrilled with the new location. Travel is a bit easier for those coming from Northern Alberta, so we’ve been fortunate to see over 00 first-time attendees since we moved. Jasper Park Lodge, the facility that hosts the conference, is an absolutely world class venue. It’s a beautiful Rocky Mountain lodge retreat, so to speak. Attendees enjoy being able to get away from the office and discuss common problems with a like-minded international audience.
It doesn’t hurt that the conference is held inside of Canada’s largest National Park. The landscape as you drive through it is a showcase of Mother Nature’s abilities, with the sheer amount of mountains and geographical formations. It truly is a phenomenal place to host a conference.

Renewals, FRoR, and Public – Exhibition Booth and Sponsorships
How can we become an Exhibitor at IPEIA’s upcoming conference?
IPEIA’s Exhibition is sold out. We do not have a waitlist.
We offer a renewal program for Exhibitors to secure their booth for the next conference at the same pricing* (ie: 2023 price will be the same for 2024 if they renew).
*Note: this offer takes place at the end of the current conference and is available for 2 weeks following, at the same pricing only to the previous year’s Exhibitors.
On occasion there are limited number of booths that become available each year because not everyone may be ready to commit to the following exhibition. Following the renewal offer, IPEIA will then open up “First Right of Refusal” for the available booths to be purchased at the new exhibition pricing. This offer is made to ONLY the following:
- IPEIA’s previous year’s Exhibitors who did not renew their booths at the end of the conference & exhibition
- IPEIA ‘s previous year’s Conference Sponsors
This is FIRST COME FIRST SERVE, so the remaining past exhibitors and conference sponsors all have equal opportunity to secure any remaining booths.
The best option to have a chance at securing a booth at future IPEIA Conferences & Exhibitions is to become a Conference Sponsor to allow your company the opportunity to be a part of the first right of refusal phase, as we have not had any booths to offer to the general public for many years.
How do I ensure I am up to date for my Exhibition Booth and/or Sponsorship renewal?
A detailed email including instructions and your unique RENEWAL code was sent to your organization’s primary point of contact that IPEIA has registered on file.
To ensure you are up to date on all of the important information regarding your Exhibition Booth and/or Sponsorship, please:
- Check the CORRECT point of contact is receiving this information (this is usually the last person who registered and paid for the booth or sponsorship opportunity).
- Ensure your point of contact is receiving these communications/emails to their inbox – note: they will come from our admin emails, so work with your IT department to ask them not to block any emails from IPEIA.
- Check your spam and junk folders for all IPEIA related emails, marking as Not Junk.
- Ensure that your point of contact is disseminating the communications to the appropriate personnel in your organization, so that everyone is aware of the important information being provided by the deadlines as needed.
- Check our website regularly for the most up to date information – bookmark critical webpages that pertain to your interests within IPEIA.
- Ensure that your payment has been received – all unpaid invoices for renewals will be closed, and any unpaid booth/sponsorship opportunities will be released for the First Right of Refusal process.
How do I change our contact information in IPEIA’s registration system so we can have the correct contact person accessing our registration information?
IPEIA’s Registration System is designed as SELF SERVE. It is your company’s responsibility to keep your records with IPEIA up to date.
Only one contact can access your company’s Exhibition and Sponsorship records. Please ensure the person who is responsible for your booth and sponsorship opportunities have updated the system
If they are unable to access the registration system to update their information, please contact admin@ipeia.com

To complete your payment for your Exhibitor Booth and/or Sponsorship renewal, please begin by logging into the Registration System by visiting here.

Why should I renew my Exhibition Booth and/or Sponsorship by the deadline?
WHY RENEW:
- Guarantees your same booth same location for the upcoming conference year – you will have a spot!
- Guarantees your same sponsorship opportunity for the upcoming conference year – no one else can grab it on you!
- Guaranteed Pricing!
IF YOU CHOOSE TO NOT RENEW (or complete your payment by the deadline):
FIRST RIGHT OF REFUSAL (FRoR):
- No guarantee you will secure a booth. All sponsors and exhibitors from the previous year (ex. 2023 Conference for 2024 FRoR) are invited to participate in IPEIA’s FRoR process to secure a booth for the upcoming conference. There are only a select number of booths available – and available on a first come/ first serve basis.
- You can move or upgrade from your current booth location to another available booth – again, this is done on a first come/first serve basis and ONLY if there are any available booths to choose from.
- Sponsors can choose to change to another available sponsorship opportunity.
- Exhibition and Sponsorship pricing for the upcoming conference will be posted – FRoR is at the new year’s rates (any upgrades will need to be paid immediately at the new year’s rates (sum difference between the previous year’s renewal price to the upcoming year’s FRoR price)
IF YOU CHOOSE TO NOT RENEW OR FRoR: All available booths and sponsorship opportunities will open to the PUBLIC on as per the announced date.
To learn more, pricing and deadlines, visit Exhibitor & Sponsor Renewal - IPEIA.
Can we get the same booth for next conference & exhibition?
*Past Exhibitors are eligible to renew their booth for the next conference (ie: 2023 price/same booth for the 2024 IPEIA Conference & Exhibition) or they can wait for ‘First Right of Refusal’ to purchase their booth for the next conference (next year’s exhibition pricing/select from available booths).
*Note: past Exhibitors are not guaranteed a booth during FRoR as this opportunity is also available to all past IPEIA Sponsors.
Companies are only eligible to purchase one booth (it may be a single, double or a triple) but ONLY ONE BOOTH per company. This maintains the integrity of IPEIA’s strategy to have as many different exhibitors as possible for our delegates’ experience.
The exhibition floor plan may vary from year to year as changes are made to the exhibit area.
Visit IPEIA - Exhibition for more information, including the pricing table within the Exhibition Information Package.
*Subject to same venue and space being contracted
Can we change our booth location (or size) for next year?
If an Exhibitor wishes to move to a different location or would like to change their booth size, they will need to wait until First Right of Refusal (FRoR) opens. If there are any booths that were NOT renewed and are now available for purchase, an Exhibitor can change their booth location to the available booth.
Notes of consideration:
- It is recommended that an existing Exhibitor renew their booth for the next exhibition or they risk losing their booth during the FRoR phase.
- Past Exhibitors are not guaranteed a booth during FRoR as this opportunity is also available to all past IPEIA Sponsors.
Companies are only eligible to purchase one booth (it may be a single, double or a triple) but ONLY ONE BOOTH per company. This maintains the integrity of IPEIA’s strategy to have as many different exhibitors as possible for our delegates’ experience.

*Subject to same venue and space being contracted
For instructions on how to move your booth to another location or upgrade to a larger booth, visit here.
Can we purchase a larger booth or an additional booth to make a single booth into a double (or triple)?
IPEIA strategically predetermined the number of single, double and triple booths that would be made available at its annual conference. Historically there have been more exhibitors than available spaces. Booth sizes were reduced to accommodate more companies. We are also cognizant that without delegates, there will be no exhibition. Delegates tell IPEIA that they want to see the innovative solutions, new technologies that exhibitors have to present. They also want to see which new companies are entering the market. To ensure the conference meets delegate demands we are maintaining the ratio of single to larger booths. This balanced policy is intended to keep delegates engaged and ensure they attend the exhibition each year. Delegates are the heart of the conference and there would be no exhibition without their support.
Note: We do have some exceptions from our past exhibitions which we will continue to “grandfather” to our current exhibition. We will be reviewing these booths and circumstances for the following year.
Can a company resell their booth to another company?
The booths do not belong to the Exhibitor. They are rented to them therefore if the Exhibitor is unable to attend, IPEIA reserves the right to rent it to another company. Refunds are not issued unless IPEIA has been able to rent the booth to another organization.

Will IPEIA be providing another Integrity Challenges Forum (ICF) during the conference?
Yes, IPEIA will be facilitating the ICF during our programming of IPEIA’s conference. You must be a registered delegates to attend.
Why was my training course submission not selected for the conference?
We had an excellent response to our request for training this year. The new training format appears to be working well for us, (based on the number of applicants). Because of this we had a criterion for selecting training that we hope will attract the largest number of attendees.
Some of the criteria:
First question – What will attract the greatest number of attendees to the conference?
-
- Training that provides some certification
- Training that is in high demand
- Training aligned with the goals and objectives of IPEIA
Second Question- What will keep attendees of the training as a hold over for the Conference?
We have 10 days of training available, we were looking for longer courses versus shorter ones, considering the travel time required, if the training is the reason that attracts attendees. So, two days of relevant training would beat a 4-hour training course, as an example.
Third Question – Is the training general in nature versus specific to one area?
Example would be Pressure Equipment Safety Legislation – training needed by all In service inspectors
Forth Question – Is this Sales versus Training?
In the past (even in 2022) we received feedback that the training was not actually training but, was more service providers convincing attendees why they should use there service over others.
So, the question is, will the training be perceived by attendees as sales versus training?
Fifth Question – Does the presenter have a track record that will attract attendees?
Several presenters are known to the committee and have had excellent feedback on quality of training and the ability for the presenter to get through to the audience, these presenters are known to attract people to the course.
So, are the presenters known, do they have a proven track record
Sixth question - Will the attendee get educational hours or a certification that will be useful in there given profession.
IPEIA and Special Sessions has been given feedback that they want to have some form of Educational Credits or certification. We are wrestling with this as a volunteer organization, we believe that the credits are important to attendees but have trouble tracking and monitoring what they are taking, so for the conference we state that some organizations accept the attendance as hours, and others do not. For the preconference training however, we are trying to provide something that IPEIA does not need to track but will give some sort of credit or certification.
Question seven, - Is there a risk of the trainer possibly backing out of the conference? or not getting enough attendees and dropping out before the conference?
This one is very subjective, and we could not really apply it, we need more information for this one.
Our committee reviewed all the submissions and discussed them, looking at the above criteria, and found it was difficult to rank, but did our best. The fact was that we got a lot of excellent training options put in front of us and we attempted to do our best a determining what would be best for the Conference. If this trial works in 2023, we will repeat it in future years, and will ensure that we provide variety, as to ensure we do not stagnate and continue to attract both excellent training and attendees.
As this is our first go at this format, we will have some learnings, and will be looking for input for improvement, specifically to our criteria.
We welcome feedback on how we can improve on the criteria for selection.
Education & Student Members
How many continuing education credits can one claim for the full conference?
IPEIA does not define the credits. We offer our full registered attending delegates a certificate of attendance only. It is up to the organizations how many hours they will equate for their certifications for their attendance at IPEIA.
IPEIA’s webinar series also offers certificates of attendance following each webinar. These certificates are sent directly to the member’s email that they registered for the webinar with. IPEIA Administration does not manage these certificates of attendance from the GoToWebinar platform. It is the member’s responsibility to manage this for themselves.
