Online pre-registration has been closed due to the proximity to the Con. You can still purchase your memberships at the convention!

Pre-registration gives our Registration head the chance to get some of the badges pre-printed, packets setup, all the Pros and GOHs in the system, etc. It also gives him a chance to live-test the registration system and make sure everything is going to work right. But at some point it has to be cut off, otherwise someone always gets missed in the last two weeks’ rush to the Con….
