Registration

Your conference registration fee includes admittance to the Thursday welcome reception, exhibit hall and most educational sessions. Educational sessions are filled on a first-come, first-serve basis, so we strongly encourage you to register early for your preferred sessions.

We will have hands-on classes as part of the Annual Session. In order to participate in these classes you must register for the Annual Session. The courses will be limited, so once the class is full, we will start a waiting list in case of cancellations. No refunds will be issued for these classes.
