Phase I - Hotel Reservations


Parade Phase I Registration and the ability to reserve PCA housing.

Before Registration opens, be sure your PCA membership information is up to date on your PCA member account, including address, home/cell phone numbers, and most importantly, your email address. You may update online at www.pca.org or call PCA National at (410) 381-0911 before registering.
 

Follow these two steps to register:

1. During this phase, you can register as the primary entrant (your co-entrant, children, JPP/CAFP, and Adults Guests may be added during Phase II). The only fee collected during Phase I is the $270.00 Parade Registration Fee (covers entrant and co-entrant only). Housing Reservations are a separate fee from Parade Registration. Phase II Registration will have additional fees for Banquets and Events.

2. The only accepted payment methods are Visa, American Express, MasterCard, or Discover in US funds.

Housing: You will receive a Confirmation Email once your Parade Registration Fee payment has been successfully processed (usually within seconds).  If you are still waiting to receive a confirmation email within 10 minutes, please check your SPAM or JUNK folder.

PCA housing will be at The Sheraton Birmingham Hotel and The Westin Birmingham Hotel. Your confirmation email contains the Link and Entrant Access Code for Conference Direct necessary to reserve your housing, along with an 800 number for Conference Direct if you encounter difficulty with your reservation. Details of the accommodation available at The Sheraton Birmingham Hotel and The Westin Birmingham Hotel can be viewed on the Porsche Parade website at the following links: The Sheraton Birmingham Hotel and The Westin Birmingham Hotel | Porsche Parade 2024

Phase I and II Refund Policy: 

All fees paid will be recorded and deposited at the time of registration. Parade Registrations are not transferable. Refund Policy BEFORE 4/9/24 (11:59 PM ET) – 100% of registration fee refunded minus $50 cancellation fee. Refund Policy BETWEEN 4/10/24 (12:00 AM ET) to 5/3/24 (11:59 PM ET) - $50 cancellation fee as well as 50% of the registration fee are withheld. NO REFUNDS, regardless of circumstances, will be given after 5/3/24 (11:59 PM ET) as we have commitments to pay for contractual and event obligations. All cancellation requests must be emailed to (paradereg@national.pca.org). We also do not allow transfer of registration. Although not required, we highly recommend purchasing travel insurance for all Parade events as you would for any travel to cover nonrefundable expenses.
