  • Is there a deadline to register for the conference?

    No. Online registration will remain open through the conference.

  • How do I determine if I am eligible to register at the ICI member registration rate?

    The “registration type” on your attendee registration should reflect your firm’s membership status at the Investment Company Institute.

    ICI member firms consist of mutual fund companies, their investment advisers, and principal underwriters, who purchase and distribute directly or through stockbrokers and security dealers. Unit investment trust sponsors and closed-end funds registered with the SEC may also be members. Employees of ICI member firms should always choose the member rate.

    ICI associate member firms consist of broker-dealers registered with FINRA, and SEC-registered investment advisers who do not manage mutual funds (or subadvisers of mutual funds). Employees of ICI associate member firms may submit up to two registrations at the member rate; additional registrations should be submitted at nonmember rate. Law firms and accounting firms are not eligible for ICI membership.

    If you are uncertain of your firm’s membership status, please check the membership listing or contact the ICI Conference Division at conferences@ici.org or 202-326-5968. If the registration type selected is incorrect, a payment adjustment may be necessary. ICI will contact you within 30 days after the event to make the adjustment.

Virtual Conference

  • What should I expect for the virtual conference?

    Detailed instructions on how to access the online conference platform will be sent by September 20. Here are some more tips to get the most out of your virtual conference experience:

    • With plenty of interactive opportunities, attending the conference live is the best way to get the most out of the Tax and Accounting Conference. However, if you have a conflict, recordings of each session will be available the day after each session, and will be available for on-demand viewing after the conference.
    • CPE credits are only available for attending live sessions, not on-demand sessions.
    • Join the conversation: Many sessions will have live Q&A and polling, and your participation will make the conference better for yourself and your fellow attendees. Additionally, each day has an opportunity for breakout discussion groups. These sessions will allow you to hear from your peers and add to the conversation.
    • Interact with sponsors: ICI virtual sponsorships will bring together attendees and industry experts. Attendees can leverage this connection and engagement to generate conversations and learn about current trends in the industry.
  • What are the technical requirements to be able to participate?
    • Laptop or desktop computer or tablet
    • Strong, reliable Wi-Fi connection
    • Google Chrome is recommended to run the virtual conference platform. Safari, Edge, and Firefox are all compatible with the platform.
  • Can I share my log-in credentials with my colleague?

    No, each participant must have their own log-in credentials, which you will receive before the conference.

  • When will we receive log-in instructions?

    Log-in instructions will be sent to you in the welcome letter, no later than September 20, 2021.

  • What time zone are the sessions times?

    All program times are shown in eastern time (ET).
