The early bird registration date has been moved to April 15th, 2011 to accommodate many Canadians who work within NGOs or government departments that follow a fiscal year ending March 31st, and therefore they will have to apply costs to next year’s fiscal budget. We hope this makes it convenient for payment in the correct year, and look forward to your participation. You can go directly to the delegate registration form by linking here.
The Exhibit Hall is more than 50% full. Check the map on the Exhibition page to see the companies already planning to exhibit. Are you there? If not, you should be!!
