Registration

Advance registration will begin February 7 and continue until April 20. Advance registration in the workshops is highly recommended to prevent cancellation of, or lack of space in, the workshops that you wish to attend.

One regular registration fee (Member or Non-member fee) at the advance registration rate must be paid by one of the authors of a paper accepted to the conference before the final version of the paper can be uploaded for inclusion in the conference proceedings. Please note that a Student/Retiree conference registration is not a regular registration fee and cannot be used to upload the final version of your paper for inclusion in the conference proceedings.

Payment Options

Payment should be made by credit card.

If absolutely necessary, those who are unable to pay by credit card can submit a check or money order in U.S. currency with a U.S. banking system routing number payable to 2008 ACC. Please start this process early since until your payment is received and cleared you will not be able to upload your papers. To pay by check or money order, you should first register on-line for the conference as described below. Indicate when you register which type of payment you are using. The on-line system will generate an e-mail acknowledgement at the time of payment. Print the e-mail acknowledgement and mail it along with your check or money order to the Registration Chair at the following address:
