Session Registration: Any individual who attends any part of a meeting that is a scheduled part of an 802 Plenary Session must register for the full session. Registration is available through a secure website or at the IEEE 802 Registration Desk on-site. Session registrations are not transferable to another individual or to another plenary session. If you web register for an IEEE 802 session and then are unable to attend, you must request cancellation of your registration before the cancellation deadline to be eligible for a refund of the fees paid. See detailed info on Registration/Cancellation on the web portal at the link below.
We strongly encourage web registration for this session, as it will save you much time spent waiting in line at the On-Site Registration Desk. In addition, if you register on the web during the pre-registration period, you will save $100.US. For the November Plenary Session, the web pre-registration fee is $400.US. Web pre-registration closes at 6pm PDT, Friday, October 30, 2009 (UTC Time: Saturday, October 31, 1am). After that time, the registration fee is $500.US for both web registration and on-site registration. Web registration requires valid credit card information for the payment of the registration fee; checks are NOT accepted for web-registration.
