We recommend you register by the deadlines (Early Registration is October 1, 2006 - January 15, 2007; Late registration is January 16-March 15, 2007). Afterwards, walk-ins accepted on a first come, first served, space availability basis. Seats will be sold at the event only if there are openings.

Q. I am only able to attend on one of the days, not all three. Would I pay a reduced registration fee?

Q. What is included in the registration fee?

A. Admission to the conference, daily breakfast, lunch, and coffee breaks.

Q. Are there any other fees, in addition to the conference registration fee, that I need to be aware of?

A. UCLA CTO/Ticketmaster will assess a separate and non-refundable "per ticket" fee of $5.00 and a non-refundable "per order" fee of $4.10. Please note that the "per order" fee is a charge per transaction, NOT per ticket. For example, if you pay for 3 general public registrations in one transaction, you would pay a flat $4.10 per order fee. These two fees will be assessed to all registrants and are in addition to the conference registration fee.

NOTE: You are charged this transaction fee only if you register on-line. You will not be charged this transaction fee if you register by fax and by mail.
