Confirmation of online registrations will be sent via email within 48 hours. The confirmation will be sent to both the attendee and admin email addresses shown in the registration section.  If you do not receive confirmation within 2 days\, please do not hesitate to email Mandy Lill or call 360.878.6299. \nThere was no link to pay for my registration\, how do I pay you?\nWPPA will send an invoice for all registrations and sponsorships after the event has occurred.

If you are interested in coming but don’t yet have a room\, you can contact Mandy Lill for more information and to be put on a waiting list. For anyone that has a room but is going to cancel it – please contact Mandy Lill first! I have attendees on a waiting list for a room and the only way we can keep the room in our block is if we know about it before you cancel. \nTHE CUTOFF DATE FOR HOTEL ROOM RESERVATIONS IS Monday August 25th  \nOur special group rate at Alderbrook Resort is $270 + taxes and fees. To make a reservation\, call the hotel directly at 360.898.2145 and be sure to refer to the “WPPA Environmental Seminar 2025” to get our rate. Please book your reservation directly with the hotel (not a 3rd party) so we can be sure to account for you in our room block. \nIf you have to cancel a hotel reservation\, please contact Mandy Lill first! There may be someone on a waiting list for a room and the only way we can keep the room in our block is if we know about it before you cancel. Alderbrook’s cancellation policy is 7 days prior to your stay. If you cancel within 7 days or if you no-show\, the hotel will charge you the first night’s room and tax. \nOnce our room block is “sold out”\, standard rates will apply. Please note: our block may sell out any time prior to the cut-off date. Your reservation is fully refundable as long as you cancel at least 8 days prior. \nParking at Alderbrook is no charge. \nPhishing & Security Reminder\nPlease be aware that scammers may impersonate hotel staff. If you receive an email\, call\, or message asking you to update payment details or provide bank account information\, do not respond using the contact details in that message. \nIf anything seems unusual\, confirm directly with the hotel by calling their official phone number or by checking with staff at the front desk. \nIs there a registration deadline?\nTo get the early bird registration rate\, you must register online by Friday\, August 29th.

We will bill you for your attendance after the event has occurred. \nCan I bring my spouse and what portion of the event can they attend?\nYes\, you can bring your spouse! Spouses are invited and encouraged to attend the Thursday evening reception. There is no additional fee for this! Breakfast and lunch during the meeting is for registered attendees only\, not for guests. \nDo I need to register my Spouse?\nYes\, please register your spouse. While there is no separate fee for them to attend the receptions\, we do ask that you register them in advance so we have a proper headcount for food. Please be sure to include your guests full name on the registration form. \nI have food allergies/I’m a vegetarian\, etc. How do I let you know this?\nThere is a comment section on the registration form.
