How to Register
Anyone who would like to attend this year's conference must register. You may register by:
- Clicking on the button at the bottom of this page.
- Requesting a registration form by contacting Catherine Sims of EMS, Inc. at (301) 589-5318, Ext 23 or via e-mail at catherine.sims@emsus.com.
- Completing a registration form on-site at the conference.
Note: You need to register for each conference session or activity that you want to attend. Registering early ensures the greatest chance of enrolling in your first choice of sessions, field trips, social activity, and training. Almost all have waiting lists by the time the conference opens.
After registering, we will send you a registration confirmation email or letter. About one month prior to the conference, we will send you an e-mail message containing the conference booklet, which includes an overview of the conference and includes the detailed agenda and abstracts for all sessions.
Conference Fees
The fee for non-EPA participants is $170 per person for the full conference. If you attend two days or less or if you are a presenter, the fee is less. The fee is collected to pay for light refreshments and the working lunch on Wednesday, August 19. EPA employees are exempt from paying this fee. The fee structure is:
| Options | Participants | Presenter (Concurrent Session, Training, or Poster*) |
| Full Conference: | $170 | $90 |
| Two Days: | $130 | $70 |
| One Day: | $75 | $45 |
| EPA Staff: | No Fee | No Fee |
*Note that Poster Presenters must pay the "Participant" rate when registering. A portion of this fee will be refunded to Poster Presenters after the conference.
Fees for Evening Activities
The fee for all registrants (including EPA staff) for the Fremont District bus trip on Wednesday, August 19, is $10/person. The fee for the Dinner Cruise on the Emerald Star is $48/person. These fees are due at the time of registration. For the evening activities, you can register to bring one guest with you.
Payment Information
You may pay by check, purchase order, or credit card and can submit payment by mail, phone or fax. Online payment is not available this year. Payment information and procedures will be sent to you after you complete the registration process. If necessary, you can pay for the Evening Activity separately from the conference refreshment fee. In this case, split the payment using any of the payment methods. For example, you can use one credit card number for the refreshment fee and another one for the evening activity. Or, you can use a credit card or Purchase Order for the refreshment fee and a check for the evening activity.
Payment can be faxed or mailed to:
