Pre-registration ends January 28, 2008

All registration and payments received after January 28, 2008, must pay the late registration fee. If payment is not received by CompuSystems (HIMSS' conference registrar) by January 28, 2008, you may still submit your registration with the late fee or you can register on-site.

Badges Will Be Mailed Prior to Conference
