Yes.

I had genuinely hoped to have it up already. Hopefully before you ask next. Subscribe to the thread and you'll be among the first to know.

Unless something majorly bad happens, registration will be up on Friday, April 29th -- likely 12pm CDT.

Waiting for a few loose ends to tie up. If you're a past attendee and I can email through eventbrite correctly you'll get a notice when it goes up.

If you are not a past attendee and will not get the eventbrite, the hotel code and ticket link goes here and just come back to the board at that time. Correct?
Cheers,

I always get confused about whether 12pm means midnight or noon.

If someone is using public transport the costs are less, although the time is a lot longer to get to the hotel from MDW vs. ORD. Each attendee considering MDW vs. ORD has to do what's best for them/their budget. There is no right/wrong.

For those who want info re: registration, hotel, etc, etc, the first few posts of this thread will have all the pertinent information. Well they will when Howie puts in the information

Cheers.

I'm waiting for hotel and ticket registration to pop up at the top of the thread. Assuming the "home hotel" is the Elk Grove IHG whenever it opens. I think that is my understanding within the summary of reading this thread.

Yes it's the Elk Grove Village Holiday Inn. When Howie gets done eating his lobstah I'm sure he'll get the first few posts populated w/ the pertinent info re: hotel details/booking codes to get the negotiated rate/breakfasttickets as well as seminar registration details.

Cheers.
