<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>1) Register on the conference website. i.e.
choose a conference package. Then hang back for a bit. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>2) The conference organisers, PeopleSA, are
notified and they send you a form.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>3) You fill in the form and send it back.
It specifies your choices for accommodation, gala dinner, etc. that could not be
captured on the conference website.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>4) PeopleSA then send you an invoice for
registration, accommodation (if you choose from their offerings), gala dinner,
etc. with a reference code.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>5) You then proceed to pay. If by credit
card, then here, where you will be asked for the reference code on your invoice:

<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>Early birds: You are being asked to send
your forms back urgently so you can get an invoice in short order. The hurry now
is to secure accommodation as part of the conference block booking. The hold on
that is released this week. There is nothing we can do about that. Cape Town is
really bustling that time of year and hotels won't keep blocks on hold any
longer. There is every likelihood that rooms at those hotels will still be
available after the hold is lifted and they WILL be at the conference rate. So,
try to fill in your form and pay this week as requested. But if you don't
manage, you'll most likely still get your hotel and if you pay within a month of
invoice, you'll STILL GET YOUR EARLY BIRD REGISTRATION RATE.</FONT></DIV>

<P><FONT size=2>Hi Andrea,<BR>I had the same thing :-) Had to fill out the form
while I also <BR>registered online. I guess the form is the formal sealing
of the deal <BR>although I was also confused a bit. You still need to
register for <BR>other workshops you want to attend and for the gala
dinner.<BR>Ciao,<BR>Jeroen<BR><BR>On Jun 24, 2008, at 3:45 PM, andrea antonello
