Yes to both questions. You can register now, but it will cost a touch more.
If you join TPPA while at the convention I think they'll let you in for free.
There are also vendor coupons that will get you into the trade show for free.
Try Arlington Camera's web site.
This is a great show with some great seminars. The trade show is very big. Get to play with all the new toys.
The photo judging is awesome.
Can't say enough about this event.

See you all there ??

I'm thinking about it. Guess I need to make a decision pretty quickly.

Sounds great, Tom.. get on it. LOL


Seriously, though.. there is an On the Border that we've had a GTG at nearby... we could do something there. I am planning on the Sunday night dinner at Trail Dust, though.

I will be there starting on Friday. As soon as I get a room number I will post it here and it can be a TPF hospitality suite.
