Online Registration:
When viewing the details for the upcoming meetings, a link is provided to register online. This allows attendees to record their attendance as well as pay for meals (optional) via credit card online. 

The online registration forms expire at midnight the Tuesday before the meeting. This allows us to call in a formal count to the Marriott.

Walk-In / Pay at the Door:
Walk in's are accepted on the day of the meeting, but meal choice may be limited. If you are interested in attending the meeting and it is after the registration deadline, you can Email Donna Varin, VP of Administration with your meal request. All meals for late registrations and walk-ins will need to be paid at the door.�

Cancellations:
PLEASE NOTE: OSPMI must pay for reservations called in. It is a requirement that the catering sales office is notified of the exact number of attendees by noon on the Monday before a meeting (three working days prior to the event).

If you have registered to attend the meeting, and later realize you cannot attend, YOU MUST NOTIFY US BEFORE 5PM ON the MONDAY prior to the meeting. All unpaid meals are the responsibility of the registrant, not the chapter. If you cannot attend, please notify us ASAP so we can remove you from the meal count submitted to the Marriott, or you will be billed for the amount to cover the cost of the meal that was reserved for you.

Please review our new policy.

Where do I mail payments?
If you need to send payments to Ocean State PMI for sponsorship or meal reservations not cancelled in time, you can make it payable to Ocean State PMI and forward to:

VP, Finance

C/O Bob Scherner

Credit Cards:
Credit cards are accepted for online payment during the registration period (up until the Monday before the meeting after which the registration form will expire); Credit cards are not accepted at the door. Once the online registration period has expired, payment options are limited to check or cash paid at the door.
