Registration Materials
North Americans who register for RSNA 2005 by November 11 will have their registration materials mailed to them in advance of the annual meeting. International attendees will have their materials mailed to them if their registration forms are received by October 28. The registration materials are sent in a badge wallet that includes:
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 the alternate information directly to the exhibitor at the point of contact. They may also visit either Help Center at McCormick Place to change the registration and ExpoCard detail. Pocket Guide
