Registration and Admission Policy

Only registered individuals having a name badge may attend conference workshops. Also, remember to register and purchase tickets for a participating guest. Registrations will not be accepted by phone. The Early Bird Registration Deadline is September 22, 2008.

Please review the registration options that are available, and select the package or individual pricing to best suit your personal needs. Register early as some workshops and events have limited availability, registrations are entered in the order they are received and availability cannot be guaranteed. Though every effort will be made to offer additional event tickets at the conference, the availability of tickets after the registration deadline cannot be guaranteed.
