• Individual: all guests charged at general public price
• Dual: one guest at member price, additional guests at general public price
• Dual Plus: two guests at member price, additional guests at general public price

Yes. The Council can only guarantee seats for reservations made in advance, including receipt of lecture passes with reservations. Reservations are accepted in the order they are received.

If there is special pricing for students, it will be listed with the event details on the website. When special student pricing is offered, it is only available for full-time students. University students will be required to show valid student ID indicating their full-time student status. High school students must make reservations through the Council's Education staff by calling 215-561-4700 ext. 228.

Lecture passes may be redeemed for admission to programs held at the Council's home venue (1617 John F. Kennedy Blvd., Ste. 1055, Philadelphia, PA 19103). Lecture passes are now electronic, and members receive 1 - 4 per year, depending on level of membership. To use your lecture pass, please call Membership at 215-561-4700, ext. 200 or ext. 221.

If you register online, you will receive an online confirmation of your reservation. If you register by mail, you will not receive a confirmation of your reservation. Events are generally not ticketed. Your name tag, which can be picked up at registration upon arriving at the event, will serve as your ticket to the event.

Cancellations must be made at least three business days before the program for a refund. Please notify the Council by phone at 215-561-4700 if you are unable to attend an event.

For each attendee, the Council will refund up to two events per year. Beyond two events, the Council will offer credit (expiring one year from the date on which it was issued), which may be applied to a future Council program.

Unless designated otherwise, the dress code is business casual.
