REGISTRATION RATES

GUEST REGISTRATION

Guests are welcome to join attendees for the Saturday Diamond Awards Banquet, one of the signature celebrations of Grand Convention. Due to space and capacity considerations, guest attendance is limited to this event only.

Guests may be added during the registration process for $250 per guest, which includes admission to the Diamond Awards Banquet, dinner, and Sisterhood Social following the banquet. 

Guests must be registered in advance through the attendee’s registration and will receive event access for the banquet only.

CHAPTER BUDGET PLANNING

As a reminder, the International Organization covers the travel expenses for Chapter Presidents to attend Grand Convention. Chapters should plan and budget for the following: 

• Chapter president registration fee and hotel cost  
• Advisor travel, registration fee, and hotel cost 

CANCELLATION POLICY AND FEES

Only written cancellations received via email will be honored. We regret telephone requests cannot be processed. Cancellations should be sent to the Learning and Development Team, events@alphadeltapi.com

Further documentation may be requested to process cancellations. If a cancellation becomes necessary, chapters should first attempt to secure an alternate to attend in place of the original registrant.

Cancellations received before May 15, 2026, will incur a $100 handling fee.
Cancellations between May 15 and May 31, 2026, will incur a 50% handling fee of all registration fees paid.
Cancellations after May 31, 2026, will not receive a refund.
Air and ground transportation cancellations will follow specific airline policies.

As a reminder, for attendees whose attendance and/or travel is funded by a chapter or the International Organization, it is the expectation that the attendee continues in her role for at least one full year following Grand Convention or for the duration of her chapter officer term. If the attendee chooses to resign before the end of the year or her term, she may be asked to reimburse the chapter or Alpha Delta Pi for the expense incurred. In the event Alpha Delta Pi cancels or postpones Grand Convention for any reason, we will be unable to refund fees or transfer them to another conference or Convention. Alpha Delta Pi will not be responsible for any costs associated with travel, accommodation, or other costs that may be associated, either directly or indirectly, with the cancellation or postponement of Grand Convention.

FRIDAY AFTERNOON ADD ON TO REGISTRATION: SEE WHAT PALM SPRINGS HAS TO OFFER!

During free time on Friday afternoon, attendees are invited to explore the Palm Desert area through a selection of optional guided tours. These experiences are coordinated through a professional local tour provider and offer a fun way to experience some of the highlights of the region with fellow sisters.

Each tour includes round trip transportation from the resort, admission tickets, bottled water, and a guided experience. Pricing will be added to your Convention registration. Space is limited and some tours require a minimum number of participants in order to operate.

Space for each tour is limited and minimum participation numbers must be met in order for the activity to take place. If a tour does not meet the minimum requirement, participants will be notified and offered a refund.
