Disclaimer Note for Adopter and Vendor Participants: Please be advised that this initial conference is based on preliminary information and contains new offerings and formats and that certain components will only go ahead if sufficient registration has taken place to cover the cost. The seminar will only be held if sufficient registration levels are reached. The status of registration will be reviewed on May 9, 2008 and all registrants will be advised of status as of that date.
In the event registration significantly exceeds estimates, we are prepared to offer additional sections of courses listed – we will have instructors available, the hotel can accommodate those who register, and we will utilize classroom space outside the Sewall Center to accommodate large registration without sacrificing the low presenter/learner ratio we deem important to maintenance of quality.
