Course Registration

To register for a course, please use the 2005 TMS Annual Meeting Registration form. All courses will be held at the Marriott San Francisco the weekend prior to the meeting, Saturday and Sunday, February 12-13, 2005.

You may register any time prior to the Annual Meeting and on site, but if you register by the advanced registration deadline of January 17, 2005 you will save an additional $50.00. Course size is limited and a sufficient number of pre-registered attendees are necessary to offer each course, so please register early!

A $75 processing fee will be charged for all cancellations; this processing fee is separate from and in addition to the fee charged for cancellation of meeting registrations. Absolutely no refunds will be issued after the January 17, 2005 deadline.
