Companion Program

COMPANION PROGRAM

Welcome guests, spouses, friends, and family to the 2023 IEEE International Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatibility, Signal and Power Integrity in GRAND RAPIDS.

The Companion Club is your chance to meet new people and catch up with old friends. You may register for the Companion Club as a part of the technical attendee’s registration or separately.
 
Paid Companion Club members are welcome to visit the beautiful Companion Suite where a delicious breakfast will be served Monday to Thursday, from 7:00 to 10:00 am.  There will also be daily raffles!  
This year, the EMC+SIPI Symposium offers four attractive group Companion Tours.  However, you don’t have to be registered for the Companion Club to participate in a tour.
 
If you register for the Companion Club, you may sign up for the tours with your own registration. Otherwise, you may purchase tours through the technical attendee's registration; there will be a drop down space to add your name.
 
Join your technical attendee at any of our Social Events for more fun and to meet more people. We have special prices for companions under the age of 18. Tickets to the Welcome Reception, a great networking time for all, are included in all Companion Club registrations.  The Evening Gala is also a fun event, and companions are invited to register for this event separately in their Companion Club or technical attendee's registration.
 
For the younger crowd, our ever popular Youth Technical Program is back once again to amaze all companions and guests aged 8 to 17.  This program will again be free of charge, but please register early to be assured a project kit.  Registration for each young person can be made either through your own Companion Club registration or the technical attendee's registration. Your children don’t have to be registered in the Companion Club to sign up for the Youth Technical Program, but an adult must accompany them to the session since this is a hands-on project.

Adult, age 18+: Advance Rate: $110 / Regular Rate: $130 (After June 26, 2023)

JOIN THE BREAKFAST CLUB
Would you like to invite your technical attendee to join you for breakfast in the Companion Suite?  “Breakfast Club” tickets may be purchased by the technical attendee as an option for each day breakfast is desired.  Tickets must be purchased at a minimum 24 hours in advance to ensure adequate seating and catering.

Join fellow companions at the symposium by registering for the Companion Club.  This is an excellent opportunity to meet new people and reconnect with old friends!  Adult or youth (ages 8 to 17) companions who are pre-registered may go directly to the registration desk located in the Convention Center to obtain a special Companion Registration Packet. 

This will include:
Name badge that will allow you access to the Companion Suite and Exhibit Hall (during regular hours)
Gift bag with goodies
One ticket to the Tuesday evening Welcome Reception
Any tour or social event tickets you may have purchased

Youths (ages 8-17) who are registered for the Junior Companion Club are welcome in the Companion Suite with an adult Companion Club member.  Children under age 8 do not receive a gift bag, but will be admitted free if accompanied by a registered adult Companion Club member.

Your ticket to the Welcome Reception is an opportunity to enjoy another great event with your technical attendee where everyone can have more fun and meet new people.  It is a great networking time for all.  The Wednesday night Gala Banquet is also a fun event; however, companions must purchase tickets separately for that event.

Discounted prices are available for youth under age 18, and children under age 8 will be admitted for free if accompanied by a registered adult.
