Any individual who attends any part of this interim meeting must register and pay a meeting fee. Meeting registration is not transferrable. Registration and meeting fee options are as follow:
Early Registration (Before 11:59pm PDT Tuesday April 26, 2016)
Late/Onsite Registration (After 11:59pm PDT Tuesday April 26, 2016)
The meeting fee covers AV equipment, network/Internet services, power hook-ups for laptop computers, continental breakfast, morning and afternoon refreshments, and meeting services and supplies.
