Even though our early-bird registration discount has flown the coop, there’s still time for you to be part of the 2008 GOLD/GALILEO Annual Users Group Conference. And what you stand to gain will make those few extra dollars seem like chicken feed!
Registration for this year’s conference has been as tremendous as the number of favorable comments we received about last year’s event. As we gear up for our third consecutive year of 300+ attendees, we remain true to our theme this year: There is always room for 1, and that 1 is you.
Conference registration fee from now until the day of the conference is only $35. And you can continue to register online with a credit card until Wednesday, July 30.
Continue to download a registration form (if paying by check or PO) and fax (# on form) or mail to the Georgia Center with the registration form.
Continue by phone through Thursday, July 31 (1-800-884-1381) and mention conference event #66106.
Or download and fill out the registration form and “WALK-IN” on Friday, Aug 1 with cash or check for the $35 in hand.
For all the registration details winged above visit:
