The dates for registration will be 1 May 2015 through 1 November 2015, the link will be inactivated at 2359L on 1 November 2015.  No further registrations can be accepted after that date.

This will give the planning staff time to compile all the data and send the appropriate information to the hotel.

Hope to see everyone there.
