SCHEDULE OF CONFERENCE REGISTRATION FEES
 
The room rates for the Rose Hall Resort and Spa, A Hilton Hotel, are all-inclusive.  Therefore we have a lower fee for those staying there.  We encourage all delegates to stay there.  Those not staying at the Rose Hall will pay a higher registration fee.
 
All fees are in US Dollars. Fees include attendance at all workshops, conference sessions and exhibits; conference dinner and the Welcome Reception.
Cancellation fees of $50 and  $75 will apply to Early and Regular registrations, respectively, if done in writing (email or fax) before May 1, 2010.  There is no refund after May 1, 2010 since commitments would have been made to the Hotel by that time.
