Unless it has changed recently there is only one policy. Non-sponsored
instructors are partially compensated for their expenses. Sponsored
instructors--those sponsored by piano manufacturers, suppliers or those
selling their own products--are not.

Registration to the convention is included in that partial compensation
package so any instructor is free to attend any class he or she wishes to
attend.
