Registration Information

To qualify for reduced rates, registration forms must be sent by Thursday, 11 September 2008– that is, sent online, faxed, or postmarked by that date. The last date to advance register by fax, mail, or online is Thursday 9 October 2008. After that, you can register at the Conference. No telephone registrations will be accepted.

In past years, OOPSLA Tutorials have sold out very early. It is strongly recommended that you register well in advance of the 11 September 2008 deadline.
