FAQs for in-person attendees
Where is the conference located?
The conference will take place in the Princess Ballroom at the Fairmont Scottsdale. The Fairmont is located at 7575 E Princess Dr, Scottsdale, AZ 85255.
What is the dress code?
The dress code is business casual. It likely will be warm/hot at outside events (including lunch) and cool inside. Please dress accordingly!
On Tuesday evening, we'll host our Beach Blast Party, a throwback to the 60's to help us all get back in the groove--so if you'd like to dress up (or down) accordingly, we won't stop you! Our Wednesday evening event is an awards afterparty. Ballgown? Tux? Shorts and a T-Shirt? We won't discriminate.
What is the check-in process?
Upon arriving at the hotel, please proceed to the Princess Ballroom Foyer to get your name badge and receive attendee materials.
Check-in opens at 7:30am on Monday, March 14 and closes at 7pm that day, in the Princess Ballroom Foyer (it’ll reopen Tuesday morning at 7:30am).

I'm attending in-person but need to watch some sessions virtually. How do I do that?

I am unable to book a room at the Fairmont. How do I get on the Fairmont waitlist?
Email conference@i4cp.com and specify your preferred check-in/check-out dates. While we’ll do our best to secure you a room on our block, we cannot guarantee placement; we highly recommend you book at a nearby hotel as we will be unable to accommodate everyone, unfortunately.
Do you have alternative hotel recommendations?
There are hundreds of hotels within a short distance of the Fairmont. Here are a few recommendations.

General conference questions
Who should attend i4cp's Next Practices Now Conference?
The conference is designed for senior-level HR, talent, learning, and diversity decision-makers from every industry and government sector. However, the conference is also a good opportunity for early-career HR professionals, as well as business leaders outside HR.
Why can't vendors or consultants attend?
To maintain a collaborative environment where attendees can talk openly about their business challenges, we maintain a strict practitioner-only policy. This is cited by many attendees as one of their favorite aspects of the conference.
Can I or my team members receive HRCI or SHRM credits for attending?
Yes, the conference will be pre-approved for both HRCI and SHRM education credits. We expect the event to qualify for approximately 17 credits, many of them Business credits. The pre-conference workshop is pre-certified for an additional 4 credits.
