Where
do I stay?
Accommodations for our workshops can be found for IB
workshops and GDOE workshops.
Please be sure to mention that you are with the CASIE conference in order
to receive the discounted rate.
Can
an IB coordinator register more than one teacher at a time?
Currently, each teacher has to be entered separately.
What
if I don't have a PO or check?
CASIE will not be able to send you confirmation of your enrollment in
our workshop until we receive either the purchase order or a check for
the full amount. Note that your registration will not be confirmed until
we receive the PO or the check. You cannot "hold" a place and
your electronic registration does not guarantee you a place until we have
the PO or the check.
I
need to send some people to training, but I don't know who can go yet.
Can I just hold some places?
We cannot, unfortunately, hold places until you have the names. You will
have to wait and register your teachers when you know who they will be.
What
if I register someone and they change their mind or cannot go?
We have a cancellation policy that is outlined on the main page of each
workshop. As long as the cancellation is in writing and comes before the
deadline, there will be no charge.
Do
I need to rent a car?
It is not necessary to rent a car while you are here. From the airport
to your hotel, there are several options:
- Subway: Marta Northbound from the airport ($1.75) to Lindbergh Station and then call your hotel for their shuttle. You could also go to Buckhead Station, one more station North, from where it is only a 10-minute walk to the DoubleTree or AmeriSuites Hotels.
- Airport Shuttle (Atlanta Airport Shuttle) which will take you straight to your hotel (approximately $20 one way or $30 both ways). Visit theatlantalink for info.
- Taxi: approximately $35 one way.
From
your hotel to the CASIE workshops at the school, you will need to request
the hotel shuttle at the front desk in the mornings. The hotel shuttles
will be supplemented by our own AIS vans.
Being located in Buckhead, there are many restaurants and shops within walking distance of the hotels.
Who
do I pay and how?
We accept checks or money orders made out to CASIE. In order to secure
your registration, we will need to have at least a Purchase Order from
your school district. Once your registration is confirmed, your district
is obligated to pay unless your registration is cancelled in writing (e-mail
is accepted) within the appropriate time period. Please see the web page
for the workshop you are considering for this information. We do not accept
credit cards.
Are
meals included in the workshop fee?
Morning coffee, lunch and refreshments at break times are provided. Dinners
are on you own.
What
should I wear?
The workshops here are casual and you should try to be comfortable.
What
is the weather in Atlanta?
For our summer workshops, Atlanta will be hot and humid with showers nearly
every afternoon. However, most buildings are very well air-conditioned.
For
the October workshop, the weather should be mild with cooler evenings.
The best advice is always to bring layers and be prepared for rain.
