Take advantage of the discounted “early bird” rate by registering now for the American Thoracic Society’s 2010 International Conference. Doing so will save you money, allow you to arrange for the hotel of your choice, secure your attendance at sessions with limited space and eliminate the need to spend time registering onsite. You can save $100 by registering before March 23 (11:59 p.m. EST).

There are several convenient ways to register:

• Online: Visit the Society’s Web site at www.thoracic.org/go/international-conference, where you can register electronically or print a hardcopy of the 2010 registration form
• By fax: Send your registration form in by fax at (508) 759-4552; or
• By regular mail: Send your form to “ATS 2010,” in care of Convention Data Services, 107 Waterhouse Road, Bourne, MA 02532.

You can pre-register for ATS 2010 at any time prior to Friday, May 14, when the ATS will hold first postgraduate courses at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center. If you prefer, you also can register onsite once you arrive in New Orleans at any point during the meeting.

Unlike last year, badges will not be mailed to individuals who pre-register for the conference. For the first time this year, all attendees will pick up their badges at the Registration Desk, which will be located in Hall F of the convention center.
