Conference registration is a 2-step process. Your conference registration will be incomplete if you skip any steps:

STEP 1: Complete the Pre-Registration form

STEP 2: Payment registration

You must pay your registration fee AND submit your completed pre-registration form to secure your seat at the conference. Seats are only available on a first come, first served basis. Submitting your pre-registration form alone is NOT sufficient to secure your seat.

STEP 1 must be completed for each individual person registering for this event, even if only one person’s credit card will be used to pay for the registration fees for an entire group of people.

For example, if John Doe wants to pay the registration fees for himself as well as pay the registration fees for his two colleagues, Mary Smith and George Green, then John, Mary, and George each will have to complete their very own pre-registration form, but all three people in this group will list John Doe’s credit card information when they complete payment processing.
