ATTENDEE ONLINE REGISTRATION NOW OPEN FOR THE 2008 INTERNATIONAL POOL | SPA | PATIO EXPO
DALLAS -- July 18, 2008 -- Online registration is now open for the 2008 International Pool | Spa | Patio Expo, taking place November 18-20, in the Bayside Halls at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center in Las Vegas, Nevada USA. Attendees who register before October 7, 2008, will receive early-bird pricing rates.
Online registration is available at www.PoolSpaPatio.com, where information is accessible 24-hours a day, seven days a week. Registering in advance will save attendees not only money, but also time by not having to wait in long on-site registration lines.
“Registering early is a great convenience for all attendees,” said Donna Bellantone, Director of the International Pool | Spa | Patio Expo. “Those who take advantage will receive their show credentials in the mail and avoid the higher on-site registration fee, therefore saving money and time at the show."
