GIS DAY 2006

Registration (includes free lunch): Registration for 2006 is Now Walk-in without any guarantee of lunch. I did order some extra lunches and there may be some no-shows. You can just show up on Friday, though if you send an email to gisday@vcccd.edu we may be able to make you a nametag and put you on a waiting list for extra lunch spots. Include the following information in your message:
    Name, Company/Organization, Address, Phone, Email
    Want lunch? Yes or No
    Will you bring a poster? Yes or No or Don't Know Yet? (You can decide later. If you do plan on bring a poster you can just show up with the poster and we'll try to find a spot for it.)
If you would like lunch, please register by 5pm Tuesday, Nov. 14.
If you don't need lunch, you can register through noon Nov. 16 or just register on site on the 17th..
