SAVE when multiple persons from your organization attend! Register together and take advantage of reduced registration fees and build your team! Don't worry, you don't have to register everyone at the same time to get this discount. Our system searches our registration database to see if others from your organization have already registered, and if so, the team discount automatically will appear. As long as everyone's email address has the same domain name (the part following the "@"), you'll get the discount. This way, registrations can be entered at any time!
