We are glad to see so many registrants opting to receive conference booklets electronically (by download just before the conference in color or black and white or diskette) rather than a printed book.
The link to download the manuals will be emailed to those who selected this option by the Monday prior to the conference. CDs and pre-ordered Printed Manuals will be provided at self check-in onsite.
A limited number of printed General/Science/Nutrition books will be available at the ARI booth for a fee.
