It is as you say: registration for the Industry Track is included with regular conference registration. The $250 rate is available for those want to <i>only</i> attend for that one day.

However, from your post, I gasped, because I thought I would have to pay $695 for the regular conference, PLUS $250 for the Industry Track. That is not the case. From the SIGIR website: <i>These presentations will occur in parallel with the technical program of the day and attendees may move between the technical tracks and the industry track at will. That is, anyone registered for the full conference will be able to attend Industry Track presentations. Also, anyone opting for the special Wednesday-only registration will be invited to attend any technical presentations on that day.</i> ..just in case I wasn't the only one for whom that wasn't completely clear.
