To avoid this additional fee, please please register on-line (available soon).
 
There are several registration options, everything from a single half-day tutorial to an "all-inclusive" package deal: Note that
  • August 15, 2008 is the deadline for "Advance" registration. After this date, the "Late/On-Site" fees apply.
  • The listed fees are applicable if you register on-line. If you choose to register via mail, fax, or e-mail using the PDF registration form, an additional processing fee of US$ 30 will be added.
