WHY PRE-REGISTER ?
It saves you time and money!!!  Plus, pre-registering is easy to do.  You may register on our secure website, fax or mail your registration as detailed below.  Additionally, by pre-registering you'll receive a written confirmation of your registration that includes complete details of times and locations of events.  And all of your conference materials, including your badge, will be ready for pick up upon your arrival.  You won't have to wait in long lines to register on site and best of all you'll save up to $150!  So pre-register today!

BRING YOUR TEAM
Save up to $50 per person on the Full Technical Conference by registering more than one person from the same company for the conference.  More and more manufacturing decisions today are made by a “team” rather than an individual.  We encourage you to bring your team to FIN-X ‘07 and offer a “group” discount to companies registering two or more individuals at the same time for the FIN-X ‘07 Technical Conference.  As a “team” you can cover more of the conference and show than you can alone, allowing you to gather all the important information you will need to transform your coating operations!
