Hello. Is there a way to submit my registration form electronically or do I need to mail it in? I am concerned it might not arrive in time for processing if sent by snail mail. I have already paid for two tickets via PayPal, but there was no place to put in the registration info on the PayPal site. Thanks for your help. I am looking forward to the conference.
No need to send in a registration form if you registered on-line. We did receive your on-line payment. Thanks and looking forward to seeing you Melissa!
Okay. I wanted to indicate vegetarian for one of the two tickets I purchased. Thank you!
