RE: [saml-dev] IMPORTANT: Catalyst Registration information

Hi Jim,

 

I previously registered for the conference
and have been charged the Burton Group client rate. How do I get reimbursed for
the 15% discount?  

 

I CC'ed the saml-dev list in case
others were in the same boat.

 

Also, is there any way to get this to
happen fairly soon?  The charge has already appeared on my AMEX, so I need
to process the expense report soon. It will be a hassle to process a reimbursement
after it's been paid.

Catalyst Registration information

 

My sincere apologies for not posting this sooner. Jim Kobielus just
pointed out to me that this was in an attachment that I sent. Whether I posted
that attachment or not I can't remember, but if any of you are like me you are
much more likely to read stuff in the email, therefore, here it is. PLEASE READ
THIS CAREFULLY. Let me know if you have any questions. 

Please
send the list of personnel who will be participating in the demo/suite to Dee
Schur (). Because she must provide her information to Burton
by 6/28, let's say our deadline will be 6/21. This is the Friday after we
finish with the dry runs, so we should have a pretty good idea by then. 

Don; 

Vendor
registration: 

All
Catalyst attendees must be registered with proper ID, whether they are paying,
non-paying, guests, press, employees, or hospitality suite staff. Everyone will
be required to wear a badge at Catalyst, for security purposes. 

All
non-paying attendees who are not attending Catalyst general sessions will be
issued temporary badges (different from the ones issued to paying attendees.
Non-paying attendees involved in the OASIS demo/suite will receive temporary
badges, which will exclude them from participating in breakfast, lunch, breaks,
general sessions, and tutorials. 

By June
 28, 2002, OASIS must provide
Burton Group with a complete list of the personnel from each vendor who will be
participating in the OASIS demo/suite. The list must include both the vendor
personnel who will participate in the demo on Monday, July 15, plus as any
other vendor marketing, PR, and other technical personnel who will be there to
setup, teardown, or otherwise support the activities in the demo/suite.

The
registration requirements and associated costs for each category of vendor
personnel are as follows: 

·      
For personnel from participating vendors who'll be participating in the
demo/suite and who will be registering as paying attendees at Catalyst: There
will be a 15 percent discount for OASIS members: 

OASIS
members who are also Burton Group clients: $1,610 per person ($1,895 minus 15
percent discount) 

OASIS
members who are not Burton Group clients: $1,950 per person ($2,295 minus 15
percent discount) 

However,
these discounted rates only apply to registrations made before Friday, June 14, 2002, and only apply if attendees reserve accommodations at Burton
Group's preferred hotel provider: Hilton San Francisco & Towers. Register
online for Catalyst at 

www.burtongroup.com/catalyst/catna02/registration.asp and enter special
promotion code of "CNAOA02". Also, we are extending the Catalyst
hotel rate of $219 per night to OASIS members who stay at the Hilton San
Francisco between July 12-17. Register online to stay at Hilton San Francisco
& Towers at www.burtongroup.com/catalyst, or call 801-304-8175. 

·      
For personnel from participating vendors who are there only to set up, tear
down, and/or support demo but won't register as paying attendees at Catalyst:
They won't need to pay to participate in the demo/suite, but they'll still have
to register as Hospitality Suite Staff. 

Note that
vendors will need to pay any Catalyst registration fees for participating
personnel who register for the full conference, in addition to 

any charges they pay to OASIS and/or the hotel for the costs of participating
in the demo/suite.
