Our guest registration fee is $99 per event. Note: If you decide you want to become a TCPPA member, we will apply your $99 registration fee towards your yearly Studio membership dues within 72 hours of the event. (An annual Studio membership is $349.)
We encourage all members to mark your calendars RIGHT AWAY and attend every monthly event you can! We feel the membership is so valuable, it's worth the investment to come even if the featured speaker isn't your preferred genre. (you ALWAYS learn something!) However, we realize not everyone can make it every month.
Even if you can only make it to a few monthly events each year, the value of the monthly events FAR outweighs the membership price! In fact, if you were to get private mentoring with each of our speakers on your own, we estimate that you would spend at least $25,000+ to do so when you factor in travel costs on top of mentorship fees. Plus, we're bringing the speakers direct to YOU for a fraction of the cost! Not to mention the value of the TCPPA community you'll find!
Please note, TCPPA does not offer any member refunds at any time for regular monthly events not attended.
TCPPA members receive free entry to our monthly scheduled events as part of their paid membership dues, while monthly events are otherwise priced at $99 per event for non-members. TCPPA monthly events are scheduled for the 2nd Monday of the month, with exception of our May 2025 date, occurring on the 3rd Monday. We ask that members and guests pre-register to attend our regular monthly events.
A TCPPA workshop is led by a TCPPA-approved instructor (usually the guest speaker at our monthly event), and registration will incur an additional fee per workshop. Workshops may be more "hands-on" and may have limited seating, for a more structured learning environment, depending on the scope of the workshop course. Workshops may last from 4-6 hours, and registration rates will vary per event. We prefer a member or guest pre-register and pay for all workshops in advance.
Our Board of Directors schedule our calendar a year in advance, including workshops. TCPPA may, at its sole discretion, choose to cancel a workshop due to low attendance or other unforeseen circumstances per the instructor or otherwise. In this case, we will notify registrants at the email address provided at registration. If the workshop is not or cannot be rescheduled within the year, refunds will be issued in full to those registered.
If a workshop registration fee was paid, cancellations made by you more than 48 hours from the scheduled event start time will receive a refund, less the processing fee. Workshop attendee cancellation by you (less than 48 hours from the scheduled event start time) or no-shows are ineligible for refunds. Registrations are non-transferable. Thank you for your understanding.
As an association, we are unable to record monthly events and workshops in its entirety for member playback. Due to contractual restrictions with our presenters, attendees may not record nor stream/live broadcast a TCPPA presentation or workshop on any social media platform (Facetime, Zoom, Facebook Live, etc.) in it's entirety at any time.
Please be respectful to our featured presenter and abide by this policy. TCPPA reserves the right to enforce this policy as needed. In the event TCPPA is granted permission by the guest speaker to allow attendees to record for their individual learning purposes, a notification will be given to all attendees at the start of that event.
TCPPA operates it's memberships on an annual basis, renewing on January 1 of the year through December 31 of that same year.
You can click here and fill out a contact form that will reach our volunteer board of directors officers. Please allow 2-3 business days to give our volunteer board members ample time to respond to your request.
