When is the deadline to register my booth staff?
Although booth staff may register anytime up to (and at) the event, we STRONGLY encourage all exhibit staff to register online by October 25, 2010. (People who register online get their badges at the event MUCH faster than those that did not register in advance.)
When can I expect to receive my badge in the mail?
Badges will not be mailed in advance. Instead you'll receive a printable receipt/confirmation upon registering online which includes a unique barcode tied to your registration record. To expedite your on-site check-in, simply print out that registration confirmation and bring it with you to on-site registration outside Ballroom D on the fourth floor at the Austin Convention Center (across from the Hilton Hotel), where you will quickly print your own badge.
