If you are a late registrant, badges will be mailed up to March 5th and the rest will be held at will-call. Any badges that are not reported missing prior to conference or not returned to us by the postal service and need to be reprinted onsite
will incur a $25 badge replacement fee onsite.
Tickets may be required for meals and/or special events and cannot be replaced if lost
.
If you are new to our system and do not have a login and password, you will need to add yourself and enter your address & email.
Do not leave your addresses blank or we will not be able to send your information or badge to you. Onsite badge fees cannot be waived for incorrect addresses. If someone is registering a group, please be sure to include individual addresses and emails for the people you add so they will get their information.
