6.1.15 | Frisco, TX | Attendee Pre-Registration opened this morning... And we're off and running!
 
Since online Attendee pre-registration opened for both continuing education courses and the trade show just 6 hours ago, 168 go-getters have already signed up to attend METROCON15 Expo & Conference, which is taking place at Dallas Market Hall in Dallas, Texas, on Thursday, August 13 & Friday, August 14, 2015.

Take advantage of 5,400 seats in 54 classes. Our show will allow you to earn up to 10 CE hours over two days while still providing 8.5 hours on the trade show floor to engage with vendors and network with peers.

This year's course schedule with descriptions and class codings 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).
 
And we're running lean and mean, saving you $.
