We make registration flexible for you; sign up for one of three conference packages that best meets your schedule and needs.

 Gold Passport

The Gold Passport at VSLive! San Francisco offers the best value—for your time and money. You’ve got an all-access pass to everything taking place at the Moscone Center West that week. Attend every pre- and post-conference workshop. Jump between break-out sessions in all technical conferences, including Software Architecture Summit, Microsoft® Windows Anywhere — The Tablet & Mobile PC Developer Conference and Indigo Day . Create a schedule that is as flexible and diverse as the job you do now. And get a year’s-worth of learning under one roof, at one time.

 A la carte Schedule

Or, if time and budget are tight, create an á la carte schedule based upon your specific technical interests. You may sign up for one of the breakout conferences, and even add a pre- or post-conference workshop day to your package, rounding out your time in San Francisco.

Discounts
Alumni
Have you been to previous FTP Conferences? If so, we want to extend special savings onto you, our frequent and best customers. Simply register for the package of your choice by the Early Bird deadline: January 7, 2005. We’ll take $50 off your ticket, plus, you could qualify for additional alumni perks. For more details call 800-848-5523 (or 650-378-7100).

Corporate & Design Teams
Bring your colleagues and we'll extend even greater savings to the group. To qualify, all registrations must be paid on the same transaction with a corporate check or corporate credit card. For more details call 800-848-5523 (or 650-378-7100).

Registration Confirmation
Registration will be confirmed by e-mail. You’ll receive a short text message as soon as payment has been received and your registration has been processed. This e-mail will include the package you have selected, the amount you have paid, and serve as your receipt for the conference. Please bring this to the onsite check in desk the first day of the event.

A more comprehensive e-mail message will be sent closer to the conference start date. It will include information about onsite check in, agenda updates, and more.

Speakers & Sessions
The speakers listed on this Web site are leading professionals in their respective fields. Should a speaker be unable to attend the conference, all efforts will be made to replace him or her with one of comparable experience and qualifications.

Key Deadlines & Registration Policies
Early Bird Deadline
We encourage early registrations and will even discount the package you choose if you sign up by this date. Our conferences do sell out, and registering by the Early Bird deadline helps ensure your spot. The extended Early Bird deadline for VSLive! San Francisco is January 7, 2005.

Transfers & Cancellation
You may transfer your conference registration to another person within your organization at any time by notifying us in writing. If you must cancel, please notify the conference registrar in writing by the extended Early Bird deadline: January 7, 2005. You will receive a refund for the package you chose, less a $150 cancellation fee. Cancellations made after the Early Bird deadline as well as "no-shows" are liable for the full registration fee.

In the event that the conference is cancelled by FTP, Inc., registration fees only will be refunded. Cancellations of travel reservations and hotel reservations made directly with the hotel are the responsibility of the attendee.

Special Requirements
If you foresee any special requirements while attending VSLive! (dietary, access, or otherwise), please contact the conference registrar at 800-848-5523 (or 650-378-7100 ) at least one month in advance, and we'll do our best to accommodate your wishes.

From time to time we use photographs of conference participants in our promotional materials. By virtue of your attendance at VSLive!, Fawcette Technical Publications, Inc. reserves the right to use your likeness in such materials.
