To current registered attendees: Emails regarding instructions and links on your paperless course notes should be coming your way today. We observed that there were a few who may not have received these due to a lack of valid email address or some other problem, so if you did not receive your course notes email, please contact the office and we can verify your email and send these to you.

Many attendees have received notice that course notes are available starting June 1. Right now we are posting materials provided to us by presenters, and will soon be sending attendees an email with weblinks to the courses for which they have registered. This email will go to the same address used for your registration.

Another update will follow on this website when those notifications are sent out.

We have extended the deadline for early registration. Early prices per course are $50 less expensive than prices after May 21 May 25 and on-site.

For more information about registering for the 26th Annual Meeting, please proceed this way.
