*Registrants must choose the Keynote option when registering. The Keynote will be filled on a first come, first served basis.

NOTES:

  1. Continuing education classes will be filled on a first come, first served basis.
  2. The only pre-registration method for Tradeshow / Continuing Education / Keynote is online via the REGISTRATION page of www.metrocon.info. Since the computer system tracks each registrant through his/her email address and not his/her name, EVERY REGISTRANT MUST HAVE HIS/HER OWN DISTINCT EMAIL ADDRESS TO BE ABLE TO REGISTER ONLINE. In other words, two or more people cannot register with the same email address. Anyone not wanting to register online will have to register on-site during the conference.
  3. The only method of payment accepted online is credit card (Visa and MasterCard).
  4. During on-site registration, acceptable methods of payment are cash, check, and credit card (Visa or MasterCard). Payment for the tradeshow must be made at the Registration Desk at Dallas Market Hall. Payments for CEUs must be purchased through METROCON at the CEU Help Desk at Dallas Market Hall, and the only acceptable methods of payment are check and credit card (Visa or MasterCard).
  5. Due to high demand, those registering for continuing education classes will not be allowed to sign up for more than one class designated as “Barrier Free.” TBAE [Texas Board of Architectural Examiners] only requires one (1) of the annually required eight (8) CEPHs for Texas Registered Interior Designers to be designated as “Barrier Free,” and METROCON is trying to accommodate as many attendees as possible.
  6. Those registering for continuing education classes will not be allowed to sign up for more than one class during any given time slot. METROCON’s goal is to provide as many attendees with as much continuing education as possible, and signing up for classes that will be impossible for one to attend is discourteous to one’s peers and unacceptable to METROCON Committee.
  7. If classes sell out online during pre-registration, stand-by openings may still be available on-site during the conference due to a percentage of continuing education registrant no-shows, but they cannot be guaranteed.
  8. METROCON's computer system does not allow for changes or deletions to your registration / class schedule / payment once your registration is completely processed. If you want to ADD one or more classes, then you may do so by going through the online registration process again; however, you will be charged the full price because it will be as if you are registering for the first time. This second charge is non-refundable. INSTRUCTIONS: Use the same email address that you originally registered with and only sign up for the desired additional classes; do NOT re-enter the classes that you have already signed up for because the system will reject your second registration instead of integrating your new classes into your existing registration.
  9. Stand-by openings may still be available on-site during the conference due to a percentage of continuing education registrant no-shows, but they cannot be guaranteed. If you are already pre-registered for at least one class (besides the Keynote), then you will not be charged on-site for taking additional classes as a stand-by attendee.
  10. THE KEYNOTE EVENT AND ALL CONTINUING EDUCATION CLASSES WILL START PROMPTLY ON TIME. ANYONE ARRIVING LATE WILL FORFEIT HIS/HER SEAT TO STAND-BY ATTENDEES. NO EXCEPTIONS.
  11. If any problems with online registration occur or you do not receive your confirmation right away within minutes, immediately contact the METROCON webmaster: admin@metrocon.info.
  12. CHECK YOUR SPAM / JUNK MAIL / BULK MAIL FOLDER FOR YOUR CONFIRMATION. To prevent electronic communications from METROCON from being intercepted by your Internet service provider’s spam filter, we highly recommend that you add the following email addresses to your email address book: registration@metrocon.info, info@metrocon.info, no_reply@metrocon.info and admin@metrocon.info.
