| Important Changes
to 2002 Annual Meeting Registration Process |
In an effort to streamline and simplify the Annual Meeting registration
process, ASA is making several major and noteworthy changes. For
the first time, preregistrants' name badges and tickets will be
sent in the mail. This system replaces registration packets on
site. Preregistrants will need to go to the Registration Area
to pick up badge holders and continuing medical education (CME)
certificates. CME certificates will not be mailed. In addition
to receiving tickets and badges by mail in advance of the meeting,
preregistrants also will receive an attendance verification card.
This card must be redeemed on site for CME certificates.
The ASA Annual Meeting Refresher Course Lectures book, which
will now include a CD-ROM of the printed materials, will be available
in the Orange County Convention Center at ASA Book Sales for $20.
The book will no longer be complimentary with the purchase of
four Refresher Course tickets.
On-site registration will be held in Hall F at the Orange County
Convention Center.
Also, online registration will be available beginning in June
at < www.ASAhq.org/AnnMtg
>. Reservations for housing and for special Orlando attraction
tickets also will be available online. A hyperlink to a customized
Orlando Web site will offer a wealth of information about Orlando,
including weather, maps and restaurant information.
The preregistration deadline is September 10. No refunds or exchanges
will be made after September 17.
Most program events will be held at convention center. House
of Delegates and related activities are scheduled for the Peabody
Orlando Hotel. Co-headquarters hotels are the Rosen Centre (formerly
Omni Rosen) and the Peabody.
