There are many benefits to registering for a conference early.

  • Having adequate time to plan one’s trip is an important consideration.
  • Reserving a room at the conference hotel.
  • Reviewing the schedule to make sure one doesn’t miss one’s favorite speakers, luncheons, films, and events.

But, IAJGS sweetened the benefit pot this year by offering opportunities to win prizes – the earlier one registered, the greater the chance of winning.

The conference team has completed the drawing and some lucky friends who signed up during early registration to attend the full Conference in Seattle are now even greater winners than they were before(!).
