Optional PBLDs

An additional fee will be charged for each optional PBLD Luncheon. Pre-registration is encouraged for optional meeting programs as these programs tend to reach full enrollment prior to the pre-registration cut-off date. It is recommended to make several choices for each time period of optional meeting programs. Space will be assigned on a first-come, first-serve basis. Refunds will be issued to individuals when optional programs are not available. Waiting lists will be established on-site at the meeting registration desk and efforts will be made to accommodate as many persons as possible in these programs.
