Attendee Registration and Logistics

Audience

This free event is open to any Texas government/public sector staff interested in data issues.

Registration

Eligibility: You must be a current employee of a Texas government/public sector organization.
Cost/Fees: The event is free; however, pre-registration is required and all registrants must commit to the cancellation policy, which includes a late cancellation/no show fee.

ENROLLMENT FORM (Public Sector Attendees Only) - REGISTRATION CLOSED

Cancellation Policy & No Show Fees
Cancellation Deadline: Noon, Friday, June 21, 2019.
(Cancellations must be received via enrollment form.)
DIR is pleased to provide this FREE event for eligible attendees. Unfortunately, free events experience as much as 40% no shows and late cancellations. This results in empty seats, wasted funds, and wait-list registrants denied the opportunity to attend.
For those reasons, a $50 fee will be charged for any no shows and late cancellations (those who fail to cancel by deadline stated above). A substitution can be sent without notice.
DIR understands that sometimes urgent matters arise that prevent someone from attending. That is a business decision for the registrant's agency to make, weighing the $50 cost.
Invoices for cancellation fees will be issued by:
JFS Events, P.O. Box 300, Hallettsville, TX 77964 {EIN 45-5124481}
