Receive Registration Materials Prior to the Meeting

Registration Materials

RSNA will mail registration materials in advance of the annual meeting to all North American attendees who register by November 7. RSNA will mail materials in advance to international attendees whose registration is received by October 24.

Registration materials include:

• Name badge and holder—RSNA will track attendance in the Technical Exhibit Halls, the Lakeside Learning Center and multiple session rooms using radiofrequency identification, also known as RFID. No personal information is stored on the RFID badge, only an identification number. RFID is used to obtain total attendance counts and exhibit floor traffic. Attendees wishing to opt out of this program should visit a Help Desk onsite.

• Course and tour tickets (if requested)
• Attendance vouchers for CME or CE credit
• Free pass for the Chicago Metra Electric Line train system
• Airport shuttle discount coupon

Registration materials also include an ExpoCard™ and Pocket Guide.

ExpoCard™

ExpoCard™ is an electronically personalized business card attendees can use at the technical exhibition to request exhibitor information. The card is encoded with the holder's name, institution, address, e-mail, address, phone/fax numbers and radiologic specialty. Attendees who prefer that exhibitors contact them at a different address than the one used during advance registration should provide alternate information directly to the exhibitor at the point of contact. Attendees may also visit either Help Center at McCormick Place to change the registration and ExpoCard detail.
