Multiple Attendee Registration We encourage multiple attendee registrations from the same organization. The on-line registration system makes registering multiple attendees easy. To add an additional registration, simply click the 'Add Attendee' button before continuing to choosing a payment method. Credit Card Security This on-line registration system is based on the use of credit cards. Although the Internet system we use for credit card information transmission is quite secure, some users prefer to fax their credit card information to us separately. You will be offered a choice of this payment option at the end of the interactive questionnaire. Confirmation and Receipts When you send us your registration, we process your credit card or other payment. If the credit card charge is successful, we will send an e-mail confirmation. If the credit card transaction is unsuccessful, we will promptly notify you by phone, fax or e-mail. A printed receipt will be provided when you pick up your badge at the registration desk. Registration Changes The main on-line system can be used only for your original registration. If you have already registered, either on-line, by fax or mail, please fax your requested changes to +1 212 666 0140 (Attn: Andrew Miller). Your Registration Number must be included in your message. Please also include your credit card information (Issuer, Acct #, Cardholder name, Bill address, and Security code), as we do NOT save this information in our registration system.
