register right now?
YES! We recommend
you peruse the schedule

an idea of what you'd like to do
at the conference, then register.

about my hotel room?

You can stay at the Rochester
Hyatt Regency, where the conference

for the special conference rate,

their regular price. For
a lower cost

is across the street from the Hyatt,
