Register in Advance
To provide you with the ultimate professional development experience, all sessions at the 2009 Summer Conference are ticketed. You must preregister, and only participants with the correct tickets will be allowed into the sessions.
By requiring tickets, we can limit the size of sessions. The resulting smaller sessions are designed to include activities, small-group discussions, and hands-on applications of content.
Ticketed sessions fill up quickly, so you will want to make your reservations now. When registering, please include alternative session selections for each time slot in case a session you choose is already full.
How to Target Your Learning Needs
We've made it easy for you to customize your conference experience by labelling sessions with a level. These designations are not meant to inhibit you from attending sessions but rather to assist you in finding the ones that best fit your learning needs.
- Beginner sessions are for audiences with limited knowledge of the topic.
- Experienced sessions are for audiences who are already familiar with the topic and want more advanced information.
- All sessions target both levels.
