FAQ
Travel
-
How Do I Book My Flights?
This year ALPS will be providing a stipend to help support the cost of air travel to and from the event. You will be responsible for booking your own flights. This stipend will take one of 3 forms:
1. A gift card for your preferred airline will be sent directly to you after you once you complete the registration form.
2. A reimbursement to your bar association if you book with funds from the bar.
3. A reimbursement from ALPS directly to you. Please be advised that if you purchase your ticket yourself (not with a gift card, or through the bar) you will need to provide a W9 to ALPS and you will need to report the reimbursement on your taxes.
If you have further questions please reach out to blr@alpsinsurance.com

When Should I Plan to Arrive/Depart?
The retreat begins the evening of Wednesday July 17th. Plan to arrive the afternoon of the 17th. For departure, programming ends the afternoon of Friday the 19th, and some attendees choose to head out immediately after that. However, if you would like to join us for the Saturday activities then plan to leave that evening or the next day.
