REGISTRATION
Registration passes give admission to the entire conference. This includes the keynote and plenary sessions, program sessions, the conference dinner and dancing, and other GHC activities.
Registration passes should be given to individuals who you want to attend the conference, as well as individuals who will staff your exhibit stall. We encourage you to choose women in early career (2-5 years), individual contributors, and mid/sr. level women who manage technical teams. Staffers who manage the stalls do not have separate passes; they are considered conference attendees. Please give out your passes accordingly.
As a founding sponsor, you get 50 registration passes. Additional passes cannot be purchased this year.
Attendees must register online using your sponsor code provided to your main contact when registration opens. Attendees should register themselves online (coming soon), select “General Attendee”, and enter your sponsor code when prompted. Registration is will be open soon and closes November 25th, 2010.
Please direct questions to Deanna Kosaraju.

STALLS (Exhibit Tables)
