How will I know that AGA has received my registration form? Confirmations will be e-mailed to the address provided on your registration form (or mailed if no e-mail address is provided) within five to 10 business days after receipt of your registration. If you do not provide credit card, check or purchase order for payment with your registration, a confirmation will NOT be sent until full payment or a copy of your purchase order is received.
Please pick up your

Registration hours are subject to change. No. These are independent of each other, and you need to cancel each separately. As a reminder, the hotel will charge a penalty for all reservations not canceled at least two weeks before the scheduled arrival date.
Refunds, less a $50 processing fee per registrant, will be granted for cancellations received in writing at the AGA National Office by June 24, 2005. Refunds will not be granted for cancellation after this date. “No-shows” are responsible for full conference payment. You can e-mail your cancellation request to Julie Cupp at jcupp@agacgfm.org, or fax to 703.548.9367. Cancellation requests may also be mailed to AGA, 2208 Mount Vernon Avenue, Alexandria, VA, 22301.
Yes, if you are unable to attend the conference and have already registered, you may designate another person to take your place. Just complete a registration form for the new attendee and indicate the name of the individual that is being replaced. Membership status is not transferable. Additional fees may be required based on the replacement's membership status. Substitutions must be made in writing. Please fax to 703.548.9367 or e-mail to Julie Cupp, jcupp@agacgfm.org.
Can I register to attend just the Exhibit Hall? Sorry, AGA does not offer ‘Exhibit Hall Only’ registration.
How can I get a
receipt for my registration? How can I see who is registered for the conference? Approximately two weeks before the conference all registered attendees will receive an e-mail providing a link to the 2005 registrant List. The roster will also be updated approximately two weeks after the conference. If you did not include your e-mail address on your registration form, please contact Julie Cupp, jcupp@agacgfm.org, by phone at 703.684.6931, x207.
Registration lists are provided as a service for conference attendees, offering a convenient way to network with colleagues. The data provided in these lists may not be harvested, sold to others, incorporated into any type of database, used to generate mailing lists, or employed for any promotional purpose. Send questions to Julie Cupp, jcupp@agacgfm.org.
If a lunch, reception or refreshment break is not sponsored, does that mean it will not be provided? No. All of the meals and food and beverage events included in your registration package will be provided regardless of whether or not the meal/break has been sponsored.
AGA will do its best to accommodate special meal requests (diabetic, low sodium, kosher, vegetarian, etc.) during the luncheons. Individuals that notify us of a special meal request at least two weeks before the conference will be provided with a meal based on their dietary needs. Because these meals are pre-ordered before the conference, special meal requests received onsite cannot be guaranteed.
Please Note: Food service will stop after approximately 35 minutes to allow for announcements and award presentations. Please be sure to arrive early enough to be served, especially if you have requested a special meal.
If I am receiving an award, are my meal tickets complimentary? Yes, if you are an award recipient, you and your guest are welcome to join us for the awards luncheon free of charge. If you are registered for the conference, your luncheons are included in your registration package. In addition, if you are registered, you will be able to attend the conference sessions and earn CPE.
A message board will be located near the conference Registration Desk. The message board will be available throughout the conference for posting messages for conference attendees. AGA does not have the ability to deliver messages directly to attendees, so we ask that you check the message board occasionally.
In cases of emergency, we will do our best to locate attendees in the meeting rooms at the beginning and end of each session. However, sessions will not be interrupted, so please remember to check the message board and/or voice mail during breaks.
Still have questions? We are here to help. If you have additional questions, contact Julie Cupp, jcupp@agacgfm.org, at 800.272.7211, ext. 207.
