If you'd like to register and pay for the conference you can do that here. If you'd prefer to download a registration form and mail it in with a check, you will find the form on our Resources page.

For those flying in for the conference, you can fly into either Oakland or San Francisco. Oakland is much closer to
Walnut Creek, but you may take the BART from either airport directly to the hotel.  The hotel is right next to the Pleasant Hill BART station--*not* Walnut Creek.
