Team discount: Save 10 percent per person on registration fees when you register three or more of your team at the same time.

Registrations must be made at the same time with total payment submitted to qualify. Please call NGWA customer service at (800) 551-7379, or (614) 898-7786 outside the United States, to take advantage of this team discount.

One substitute is permitted per registrant for the entire event; daily substitutions are not permitted. (In other words, preregistered individuals who cannot attend the event may assign their registration to a colleague; one event registration is valid for one person only.)
