Conference Overview
General Information
Pre-registration is required for all sessions. Indicate on the registration form the workshops you wish to attend in order of preference. While we will attempt to accommodate everyone's first choice, given space limitations, we may not be able to do so. Workshop registration will be on a first come/first serve basis. PLEASE NOTE: If you do not provide second and third choice workshops and we are unable to place you in your first choice, conference organizers will place you in an open workshop of their choosing.
When registering online you will automatically receive a confirmation from the online registration system. Those who register via regular mail by check who provide an email address will receive an email acknowledging receipt of your registration once it is processed. Workshop assignments will be given at the conference when you check in.
