[As a side note, we were not able to publish full meal choices when we launched registration in October, because the Convention Center changes its menu, annually.  We had a general sense of what the options would be (i.e. chicken, beef, fish, vegan), but did not know the exact meal choices, until recently.]

Registration is Open!
