Registration As of 1:00 p.m. EST January 28, the on-line option for Conference and short course registration is no longer available. On-site registrations for the Conference will be taken at the Conference Registration Desk, beginning at 2:00 p.m. Monday, February 2. A few openings remain in some of the Monday short courses. For a course beginning at 8:00 a.m., go to the Registration Desk at 7:00 a.m. Monday to inquire about registering. For a course beginning at 1:00 a.m., go to the Registration Desk at noon. No financial assistance is available to support registration or other costs of attending the Conference. Because registration fees are the major source of funding for the Conference and a significant percentage of registrants will make presentations and/or chair sessions, all presenting authors and session chairs are expected to register before the Conference and pay the technical-program registration fees. Registration Fee Schedule and Policy Exhibit-booth staff will be registered by their exhibit managers. Holders of booth-staff badges will be admitted to the continental breakfasts, group lunches, breaks, and general receptions. However, booth-staff registrants will not be permitted to attend the technical program (poster and platform sessions), nor will they receive the proceedings. The technical program fee covers admission to platform and poster sessions as well as exhibits and group food functions. In addition to the final program and set of abstracts, which will be distributed at the Conference, each person registering at one of the following fees will receive the proceedings, which will be assembled and mailed after the Conference.
