John,

We're not doing a pre-registration this year. It isn't really any faster and causes more confusion for the people manning the registration table. My best suggestion is to stop by early if at all possible and to bring your membership card with you. Those two things will save you a lot of time.

Members need to remember also that in order to get into the Early Bird Reception/Trade Session, one must be a current memember. If a membership has lapsed and you planned on renewing it at the convention, then you'd better contact Jim Steffner immediately to renew. If you aren't listed as a current member, you will not be allowed into the reception. No exceptions.

Thanks for the question, John!

Belinda
