A bump and an update...

Response has been terrific this week to the opening of registration. We've had almost 1000 visitors to our website in the past week, and registrations a flowing in as well. If you want to attend any of the extra fare events you had better sign up soon as all of these will sell out long before the show.

Also, the NTRAK layout is filling up that 50,000 s/f fast. If you want a layout or module in the show, now is the time to go to the website and submit a request.

Although I will try to monitor this thread, the best way to contact us or to get additional information is through the website.
