To register online, please fill out the following form (each participant should complete the form separately). When you click on the submit button, you will be taken to a new page to add registration and lodging fees to your "shopping cart" (you must have "cookies" enabled on your browser). Then you will be taken to PayPal's site to pay with your credit card through a secure server.
