Registration Process:
A point-of-contact from each campus team will register their institution and all members of their campus team. This point-of-contact will pay the Institute fee and add the names and contact information of all members of their team. Please note that you will have the option to add between 4-8 team members on the registration form. If you do not include 8 guests from your campus in your registration, simply skip over the remaining number of guest registrations requested.
