Conference Information and Registration Materials

This year, the vast majority of conference materials will be mainly served to you in Adobe format (.pdf). We have taken this step to improve the aesthetics, and hopefully the functionality and user friendliness of the registration process. This may require you to download Adobe Reader, or update to the latest version (they were on version 10.1.2 in January). Most of you will already have Adobe reader on your Mac or PC, and won't need any additional software.

Consult the links below to find all the materials necessary for you to successfully register and attend this year's conference.

Registration Form - Read Instructions Carefully

The link below will take you away from this site to Acrobat.com. This web site will prompt you to either download or open the registration form. It is almost always best to chose the download option. Once you've downloaded/saved a copy of the registration form, you should fill it out, check it for accuracy, print a copy for your records, then click on the submit button to return the data to the California Geographical Society. Once your registration is complete, then you may submit payment.
