Although speakers may register anytime up to (and at) the event, we
STRONGLY encourage all speakers to register online by October
26th. (People who register online get their badges at the event MUCH
faster than those that did not register in advance.)

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, you'll need to 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.
