Registration Details
The primary presenter (one per session) will receive a complimentary, regular conference registration. (This does not include registration for pre-conference workshops or symposiums.) The primary presenter will be automatically registered and will receive an email confirmation by January 20, 2003. If a confirmation is not received, please contact Maureen Julian at mjulian@TechEdEvents.org, or (916) 418-5157.

If you would like to register for pre-conference workshops or symposiums please contact the Registrar directly at (916) 418-5132.

As stated in the Call for Presentations form, all co-presenters must register and pay the regular conference fees. If you are the primary contact, please direct all co-presenters to the online registration form at www.TechEdEvents.org by January 31, 2003 to register.

Presenter Compensation
Presenters will not receive compensation or reimbursement for any expenses.

Hotel Arrangements
Special conference hotel rates have been arranged through the Ontario Housing Bureau through February 21. After February 21, rates and rooms are subject to availability. Make all reservations and room payments directly through the Ontario Visitors' Bureau. Click here for Hotel & Travel Information.

Technology
Presenters are responsible for bringing their own computer to support their presentation. A 10BaseT Ethernet connection to the Internet will be provided if it is listed under the session synopsis. TechEd will provide an audio system in each session room where it is necessary to amplify sound.

Roundtable sessions are designed to create a small group dialogue with participants, therefore, we do not provide electricity or an Internet connection. TechEd will provide a round table and 8-10 chairs.

Poster Session presenters, please download your materials on your hard drive (if applicable), as Internet connections are not available. TechEd will provide presenters with a table, chair and poster board.

If there are any changes in your audio/visual needs, please email Maureen Julian at mjulian@TechEdEvents.org before January 16, 2003. Last minute audio/visual requests cannot be guaranteed and will be charged to the presenter at the provider rate.

Brochure
You will receive the TechEd Ontario conference registration brochure in the mail in November. If you would like additional copies to distribute, please email Maureen Julian at mjulian@TechEdEvents.org.

Web Site
Please visit our Web site at www.TechEdEvents.org to review your session information online. If you have any changes, please email them no later than December 13 so that all updates are included in the printed conference program.

Speaker Ready Room
The Speaker Ready Room is available for speakers to ask questions and prepare for their presentation. TechEd requests that all speakers check in at the Speaker Ready Room at least one-hour prior to their presentation.
