There are several reasons for this. First, your Annual MRA Standard, Student, or Retiree Membership is included with the Conference Registration fee. You will want MRA to have your current contact information. The second reason is to allow you to make your own Session, Meal, and Special Event Selections. Attendees will be able to pre-register for their choice of session for EACH time slot, as well as the traditional Keynotes, Special Ticketed Events, and Lunch options.

THOROUGHLY REVIEW the Wednesday Pre-conference Institute as well as the complete Thursday and Friday Schedules below, think about your first choice for each time slot, plan ahead for your lunch and event preferences, fit in some down time, and then click either REGISTER NOW button!. Best to register early as some sessions may fill up and close out.
