*What do we mean by "risk free"?  We mean that you can register today and lock in your early rates, and if you change your mind or cannot come for some reason, as long as it's before March 20th, 2009, we'll give you a full refund. Between March 20th and April 3 there's a 20% penalty (or only $75 if you want to keep your money on hold with us for later use).  After April 4th, the "risk free" period is over and tuition is non-refundable.  Please call us if you have questions!

Main Convention Going Green

All course materials and handouts for the Main Convention will be available ONLINE before and after the meeting, so you will download only what you need.  

We will not be printing and distributing course materials for the Main Convention sessions.

Because Main Convention attendees get a choice of 4 programs an hour, 75% of the materials were effectively going to waste. 

Thanks for helping us help the environment!
