So based on these responses - can the costs of the pre-confs be separated out? Is there lunch provided? Is it only room rental? Either way, if it's going to be called a pre-conf, then the registration fee for the conference should only be charged for costs of the actual conference. Otherwise, don't call it a pre-conf and have a range of options that will encompass all who are registering. Tim On Wed, Nov 9, 2011 at 3:31 PM, Edward M.
