I registered for the NewsMakers conference. If you go through the registration process, they have several different "types" of registrants. Though none of them really fit me a an individual investor, some of have a $600 charge for attending, while others are $0. So I registered as a $0 type.

Because it is a Friday, in the end I might not be able to make it, but wanted to at least make an attempt. I haven't gotten a confirmation email yet, so I'm not sure if they vet your application first. I'm interested if anyone else has gone through the registration process yet and/or plans on attending.
