Thos of you who are IPMS/USA members who have not yet done so, you should go to the membership page on the IPMSUSA.org website and update your membership using the member services app. Go to the 'Join IPMS/USA' tab to 'Membership Home'. You should have received an email over the IPMS/USA President's signature back around the first of the year. Didn't get an email, perhaps they have an old email address -- this tool will help you fix that.
This tool will allow you to seamlessly online pre-register and pay for convention events without having to leave the website to an external pay site. You get some other benefits including some free photo hosting space.
Not a member and want to join? This tool will also facilitate that action. You must be a member to participate in the contest, attend seminars, or take a tour. Non-member day passes which will allow access to the vendor room and contest hall will be available.
