CUTOFF FOR PURCHASING MEALS IS FRIDAY, APRIL 17
The cutoff for registration for meals for the Conference is Friday, April 17. If you haven't yet registered for the Conference and are hoping to attend luncheons and/or banquets, or if you've already registered for the Conference but did not sign up for meals and want to add them, you must do so by Friday as we need to provide the final count to the hotel.
If you haven't registered yet, the Conference Registration Brochure is available in PDF format on the NERGC Web page, www.NERGC.org. Print out or bookmark the brochure and plan your conference experience. Then, take advantage of our Online Registration Service. You’ll be guided through five screens to register for the Conference. (Please use a separate registration for each person attending the conference. If you have a companion who wishes to join you for meals only, you will be able to order additional meals within your registration if done so by April 17.)
Or, if you already registered online want to add meals, you can do so by accessing your registration through your email address login or your confirmation number. You can then add the items desired and proceed through checkout as you did originally. Only the additional charges will be added to your invoice.
