FAQs

Should I pre-register?

We strongly recommend you pre-register to save time and money. It is also important because some conferences have a limit on participants. On-site registration is available, but the fastest and easiest way to register is ONLINE.   Don’t forget – register early and save money!

How do I get CEU Credits/Certificate of Attendance?

Certificates of Attendance are available after the show via our website  for 60 days. At the show, you will need to scan your badge as you enter each conference session you attend. More detailed information on obtaining your certificates is here.

Do I need to choose courses now?

No, all course are first come, first seated.  We do, however, recommend that you pre-register for preconference courses and hands-on training.

Is there a dress code?

What you wear is up to you. Many attendees wear their uniforms and some choose to wear casual attire. We recommend you dress for comfort as you enjoy the classes and attractions in Baltimore..

Do I have to sign up for classes in order to visit the Exhibit Hall?

You will, however, have to register for an Exhibit Hall badge in order to gain admittance into the Exhibit Hall. This can be done online prior to or during the show, or on-site. The discount deadline is June 18, 2010.
