GROUP DISCOUNTS EXPIRE APRIL 26, 2017.
Group discounts are valid on full non-member and/or member registrations only and may not be combined with existing offers or discounts. Group discounts are not applicable on partial registrations, single day, two-day, academic, or speaker rates.
To receive the 20% discount, the group must register during the same registration record. Registrants have the option to add an additional registration once they’ve reach the verification page for each registration. The 20% discount will automatically be applied to the total amount due for records containing three or more registrations. No code is necessary.
If you require individual invoices, you must register as individuals. However, groups that require individual receipts can contact the registration office at first-registrar@first.org.
This year you will note that we are including a registration option for participants of the Annual National CSIRT Meeting which follows the FIRST Conference on Friday and Saturday. This is an invitation only meeting requiring approval by the CERT Division of the Software Engineering Institute. The registration fee for this meeting is separate from the FIRST conference registration fee. Further information about this meeting can be found at http://www.cert.org/incident-management/national-csirts/meeting/index.cfm. Registration for the 2017 National CSIRT Meeting will open in early 2017.
If you need to apply for a visa, please APPLY EARLY. Citizens of other countries have the same requirements as for entering the United States. If you are unsure of your requirements, please visit the US State Department Website. Conference participants requiring a letter of invitation in order to attend the conference should contact the Conference Registration Office, first-2017@first.org.
You must first register via the registration form; you may select the 'Pay Later' option in order to process your registration without payment. The information submitted during your registration will be used to create your letter of invitation.
Please note that this procedure aims to assist participants who need to obtain a visa or permission to attend the conference and is not an official invitation covering fees or other expenses.
A letter of invitation does not imply any financial support from the conference. Conference staff review all inquiries.
For rush requests, FIRST reserves the right to charge an administration fee of $75 US to cover expedited shipping fees.
Requests from untrustworthy sources will be discarded.
