Registration is live.
If you've been to a previous event expect something very similar. If you haven't been before, check out the 2014 Thread
For those who might be new to Flyertalk. If you're interested in meeting other FTers in smaller groups in different locations throughout the year, FT has a forum called "CommunityBuzz".
This is where people will post get-togethers (often called "DOs"), whether it be something as simple as meeting up for lunch or dinner or as organized as activities over a few days in places like London, Australia, Austin, Alaska, etc. It's a great way to meet other travel-oriented folk, but not in academic or large setting like the seminar event.

To transfer a ticket please do the following:
The current holder of the ticket send $25 via paypal to [email protected]
In the note of the paypal payment include the name and email address of the person to whom the ticket should be transferred.
Make sure when you send payment you send it from the same email address you used to register (otherwise I won't complete the transfer as I can't verify the actual owner is requesting the transfer).
If you have questions email [email protected]
All transfers will be handled manually and must be completed by October 8, 2015 11:59pm US Eastern Time.

I still have one ticket to sell. I am asking $75, and I will pay the $25 transfer fee. As a newbie I have exceeded my private message limit for the day, so please contact me at my email address. I am not able to hold it for anyone because too many people have backed out on me, but I will be happy to help whomever can send me payment first.
Thanks!

I'll be cancelling my hotel reservation for a king non-smoking on Monday night.
I don't know the transfer process, if there is one but I'll work with the first person who PMs to do the transfer.
Sorry I won't be able to go but glad the room isn't going to go empty.
UPDATE: Got three responses so room is gone.

registration questions
1. Are transfers still possible?
2. Why are some people mentioning $75 registration fees, while EventBrite is showing $100; I would like to get a transfer for $75, if possible.
3. 82 registrations open? How many attendants are there going to be?
Thanks

Re: some people mentioning $75 registration fees. They bought the ticket at full price but are offering their ticket at a slight discount so they don't totally lose out on what they paid. However, note that there is a $25 transfer fee so it probably works out to the same (unless they were willing to eat the transfer fee themselves).
Normally this seminar gets about 530-550 attendees, so if there are still 82 open spots less it will still be a full, robust seminar event but slightly less crowded.
Cheers.
