REGISTRATION
What if I need to cancel my registration to the conference?
Requests for registration cancellations (with refund) will be honored if received
by 5:00 p.m. August 26, 2007. In order to receive a refund, the registrant
must submit a written request to: PCAR, 125 North Enola Drive, Enola PA 17025.

the refund.
If it is necessary to cancel your registration after the deadline, you are
able to transfer your registration to another party. We have provided a forum
on the message board for you to advertise for a buyer. Once this person has
been identified, please contact us at 1-800-692-7445 and we will update the
registration information.
What if I have a group of people I need to register but I don’t
know their names yet.
If absolutely necessary, groups can register under one name. Once the registrants
are identified, it is very important to have each of them officially register
and choose workshops. If this does not happen, the registration process at
the conference will take significantly more time.
I have not received confirmation of my registration yet. What should I do?
Confirmations will be sent within 5-10 business days upon receipt of completed
registration and payment. We will email or mail the confirmation letter depending
on whether or not the registrant has email. You will need to check that your
anti-spam program is set to allow this post to get through to you.
If you have not received a conformation within this time frame, please call
PCAR at 800-692-7445, ext. 145 or 146.

will reimburse you at a later date.
