IEDC has upgraded some of our systems. This changes how you log in for the first time (see below).

Our strategic vision includes the improvement of our services and programs. A new portal, built on a modern database platform, has been launched and serves as the foundation for future systems that will enhance professional development, conferences, persistent networking, and more. The portal offers new features for IEDC stakeholders, including:

• A new customer service ticketing system that enables us to serve you faster and better
• The ability to manage demographics information for both you and your organization; providing this information will help us tailor content to you in the future
• The ability to manage your certification journey from end-to-end

This is the initial version of the customer portal; we have planned upgrades in our development pipeline and will continue to expand and improve the customer experience.

CHANGES TO HOW YOU LOG IN

Your new IEDC username is your IEDC account email address. If, for example, your IEDC account username was 123456SMITH and your account email [email protected], your new IEDC username will be [email protected].

You must reset your IEDC password upon your first login. A confirmation code will be sent to your account's email address to verify your identity. IEDC team members cannot reset your password.

Please review the portal login instructions and call IEDC's portal hotline at (202) 942-9482 if you experience issues. The hotline operates 9:00 am - 5:00 pm ET, weekdays through October 21, 2026.
