Registration fees are lower for graduate students than for faculty/professionals, and the form is available on the website
To give you some idea of the papers presented at this conference, the program from the previous conference is located on the conference website. Here are a few comments from attendees at the meeting last year:
"I particularly enjoyed the interdisciplinary nature of the meeting, and that it draws so many international scholars - it provides a wonderful perspective..."
"The quality of the food was the best that I have experienced at a professional meeting."
"I appreciated the many opportunities to network with other researchers - at meals, during receptions and during sessions."
"The meeting was professionally helpful, but it was also a lot of fun. Make sure you send me information about the next meeting."

*****TRAVEL INFORMATION*****
Orlando, is one of the top travel destinations in the United States. The weather is great (well except for summer which can be a bit warm), and with Disney and the many theme parks, it is the top destination for vacationing families. However Orlando has more than Mickey Mouse; the city is a short drive from the beach and there is now a vibrant nightlife. With golf, NASA, and Universal Studios, Orlando is a great place to visit in the winter. If you wish to extend your stay, the hotel will honor the conference rage for three days before or after the meeting.
