Q: When does the registration open?
A: Registration for BECon 2009 is now open. Click here.
Q: May I register for just one day of the conference?
A: If space allows, day passes will be available for purchase from June 10-17 at a rate of $125 for Thursday, $285 for Friday and $265 for Saturday. (Special evening events are not included in the price of a day pass.)
Q: I cannot attend the conference, but want to take a workshop. Am I eligible? How do I register?
A: Conference attendees are being given first priority for the workshops. Any workshops not filled by May 1 with conference attendees will be open to the general public. If you are not registering for the conference and want to be notified as soon as these classes open to the public, please send an email to conference@bullseyeglass.com. This will insure that you are at the top of the list for class registration.
Q: I need to cancel my conference registration. May I still be registered for the workshop?
A: Unfortunately, no. BECon registrants are given priority for the workshops. If you cancel your conference registration, your place in the workshop will have to be given to a BECon attendee on the class waiting list. If the class is not filled with BECon registrants by May 1, you may re-apply for the workshop. See the question/answer above.
Q: May I only register for the special events - the Lehr-B-Que and Gallery Reception without registering for the full conference?
A: Because our space is limited, BECon special events can accommodate conference attendees and their guests only. Unfortunately, it is impossible for us to open them to others.
Q: Do you have any spouse/partner activities planned during the conference? Will they be able to audit individual sessions, for instance, without registering for the full conference?
A: Until June 1, you may purchase guest tickets for both the opening night gallery reception ($35) and the factory Lehr-B-Q ($75) on a space available basis. If the conference is not sold out, we will also make tickets available for individual sessions: $40 for a 45-minute session, $50 for a 60-minute session, and $60 for a 75-minute session. These passes will become available on the days of the events only. Partners and spouses who are not registered for the conference may also register for any tours and workshops that are still available after May 1. Finally we are posting some of the many activities and resources of interest to visitors on our About Portland page. Another place to find ideas is the Portland Visitors Association website: http://www.travelportland.com/.
Q: When will I receive my registration packet?
A: When you sign in on-site at the conference.
Q: Any special attire needed for the factory tour?
A: Yes, long pants and closed-toe shoes are required. Safety glass will be issued at the door.
