Comments from Steven: check out my blog post about grouping registration.
Yes, you can check out my latest post on the group registration arrangement here:

I am really gonna miss one fantastic session. I might have to come in halfway… are they going to allow that? Can’t seem to find any “you are allowed to come in half way as long as you have paid” FAQ.

I filled up your ‘ticket’. So are there still a chance of a groupie thing?
