- Why does pre-registration matter?
-
If you pre-register you'll get up to SEVEN hours on the show floor without the people who registered on-site (which we expect to be a significant crowd!). FOUR of those VIP hours are on the first day, Thursday, October 18, 2007. Mark your calendar! In addition, your badge will be mailed to you, if you reside in the US, which saves time on-site. Plus we'll love you forever for not calling frantically in the last two weeks before the show, in a panic because you forgot to register. And that's worth something, right?
