**The Convention Registration desk has no control over long lines at the Hotel Registration Front Desk.

One of the benefits of PRE-registering for the convention is to avoid waiting in long lines to get into the bourse floor resulting from those who did NOT pre-register. If you've picked up your pre-registration package which contains your credentials badges on Wednesday BEFORE 4 p.m. ... you are good to go as soon as the doors open on Thursday.

If you have NOT pre-registered in advance, you will have to get in line to register for your admission badges before being permitted entrance onto the bourse floor by security.
