To get on the waitlist for the conference, send an email to This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it with your Name, Phone #, Contact email, and Room preference (single or double).

We often take people from the waitlist, and those on this year's waitlist who are not offered a spot are given preference for next year's registration, so it is worth getting on the list.

You will go to a page that gives you the option of paying with Paypal. You do not need to pay with Paypal. You DO NOT need to have a Paypal account nor do you need to "login" to a Paypal account.

Just click the "Pay" button to go to the next page, then enter the amount you must pay and click the "continue" link in the lower left hand corner of the page. Then fill in the billing information and follow the instructions on each page.
