Registration for the ASBA Conference 2011 is now closed
How to Register and Registration Policies
Two ways to register for the Annual Meeting:
- Via website online: Register and pay with credit card (MC/Visa) via PayPal by clicking on the “Begin” button at the bottom of this page. More than 90% of registrants used the registration website last year. Let’s aim for 100% this year!
- By mail: The registration form is printed in the June edition of the Journal. Clip, copy or download the registration form. Complete the form and mail it along with your check (payable to ASBA) to: ASBA 17th Annual Meeting, 2900 Southern Blvd, Bronx, NY 10458-5126.
First come, first served: Please be assured that every effort will be made to insure fairness between modes of registration. Online registration/postmark date will be equal in terms of getting into workshops for the first week of registration, after that online registration will take precedence. As always, though, register as soon as you have made your decision to attend. That is always the best way to get what you want.
Confirmation: By US Postal Service to those registering by mail, and sent via email only to those registering online. Please check your email for the confirmation (including your spam or junk folder in case your server routes the email incorrectly).
Questions: Email Marilyn Garber, ASBA Conference Coordinator, with questions about workshops content, or scheduling.
Email Sandra McNicol, ASBA Registrar, if you need to change something after you have completed registration. You may be contacted by Sandra if you have a balance due or an error in your registration.
Or call the ASBA office at 866.691.9080.
