6.7.13 | Dallas, TX | Cave in to some positive peer pressure...

Since online Attendee pre-registration opened for both continuing education courses and the trade show just a week ago, 447 Johnny-on-the-spot A&D professionals have already signed up to attend METROCON13 Expo & Conference, which is taking place Thursday, August 15 & Friday, August 16, 2013 at Dallas Market Hall in Dallas, Texas.

Six of our 54 classes have already filled up, so consider registering sooner than later if a course (or several) piques your interest. Our show will allow you to earn up to 9 CEU hours over two days while still providing 8 hours on the trade show floor to engage with 250+ vendors and network with peers. This year's course schedule is posted on the Continuing Education page - www.metrocon.info/index.php/attendees/continuing_education.

Again this year, in addition to the regular on-site Food Court, you have the option when pre-registering to pre-purchase box lunches for $13 per box lunch for either or both days of the show. So before you pre-register on the Attendee Information page - www.metrocon.info/index.php/attendees/, be sure to review your choices on the Food & Beverage Information page - www.metrocon.info/index.php/event_information/food/.

...without breaking the bank.

We are happy to report that Attendance fees are the same as they have been since 2010's show:

Members** may attend the trade show for [[htmlareaTextareaContent]] and take any amount of CEUs for a flat fee of only $50.
 
Non-Members* may attend the trade show for $25 and take any amount of CEUs for an additional flat fee of only $100.
 
Students, regardless of their membership status, may attend the trade show for [[htmlareaTextareaContent]].

Note that again for this year, if you wait to register on-site during the show, there is an additional $10 added to all fees stated above.

Just so you know...

We are experiencing extremely strong booth sales and only have eight (8) 10'x10' BOOTHS LEFT to sell to vendors catering to the A&D industry. If you don't see a vendor on our Exhibitor List that you want to be there, let them know pronto! www.metrocon.info/index.php/exhibitors/exhibitor_list

What defines a MEMBER?

** To qualify as a Member and receive discounted trade show and/or continuing education pricing, Attendees must be in good standing - i.e., not suspended for non-payment - in the official IIDA database [as any of the member types shown here - www.iida.org/content.cfm/membership] OR in the official ASID database [as any of the member types shown here - www.asid.org/content/join] ON MAY 1, 2013. If not in either one of these official databases on this date, then the Attendee will not qualify as a Member and will need to pay the non-member pricing.

Please know that membership claims will be verified against lists procured from ASID and IIDA showing active membership status on May 1, 2013. Those online pre-registrants claiming membership but not actually Members will be contacted and required to pay the difference.
