Substitution of personnel is permitted, and can be accomplished by the same online form prior to April 27, 2012. If substitution is necessary after April 27, 2012 that information will be collected at on-site at registration.

Name badges and event tickets are required for the Executive Reception, Opening Reception, John P. Murtha Breakfast, and Closing Reception.
