We do not expect seats to be available at the door. Should seats be available at the door, they will be available for purchase from Registration until noon on Friday, although it is unlikely that all entree choices would be available. Banquet seating is otherwise on a first come basis. We will place requests on a waiting list in the order received once we reach our maximum seating. Open seating purchasers will receive their physical ticket with their registration materials at the convention. You must have your physical ticket to be seated in the banquet and the ticket must be available for display at your table to assist the servers.

For those who wish to attend only the awards ceremony, non-banquet seating will be provided at the back of the room. Entry will be at approximately 2:30 pm or when the banquet is over, whichever is earlier. There is no ticket required, but seating may be limited.
