No, It's not too late. You can register onsite at the Coast Plaza Hotel & Suites beginning on Tuesday, October 2, 2007 from 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM.
Do I have to pre-register for sessions?
Due to meeting room space restrictions, RIMS requests you register in advance for sessions, lunches and events you wish to attend. This will allow RIMS to assign each session to a room of the appropriate size for that group.
How can I pay for my registration?
RIMS accepts Visa, MasterCard, and American Express credit cards. Checks and Bank Transfers are only accepted on pre-registration. If you are paying by check, the check must be payable to the Risk and Insurance Management Society, Inc. (RIMS) in U.S. dollars drawn from a U.S. Bank.

What if I choose to pay by check and I miss the cutoff date to pay the early bird registration rate?
Registration payments not received by the respective cutoff dates will be contacted for the additional registration fee.
How can I followup if my check has been received?
You will automatically receive an e-mail from the RIMS.org website as soon as your check is processed by RIMS. As long as it was mailed on or prior to the early bird cutoff date, you will receive the discounted rate. If you are concerned you have not received the e-mail, you can click on the online store link on the rims.org Web site, view your order history and it will show you if your order is marked as paid. If it has, then RIMS has received your payment and processed the order.
How can I change badge or session information for a registered attendee?
The only person who can change a registered attendee session or badge information is the actual registrant. They need to login with their e-mail address and password and then click on MyRIMS --> MyConferences --> Edit Registration From this page, you'll be able to edit your badge information as well as select session changes.
