          *The Scientific Workshop organization is a US based 501c educational small business whose main purpose is to host technical workshops/conferences in the homeland security/detection field (mainly for next-generation R&D communications and network gin).
     As such, we set up the host hotel with a contract that minimizes expenses like facility charges, AV charges, Food & Beverage fees, etc., by committing to X guest room nights, i.e., a formal room block.  The host hotel sets up a special rate for this, i.e., CEDD 2026 or a special link (i.e., *ONLINE BOOKING LINK: CEDD2026 Lodging), to be used by ALL attendees when making their reservations.
     Per our official statement on our registration website below, this special rate is for attendees registering for the event.  If you do not book at our room rate or stay elsewhere, we will charge your registration fee at the $1,850 rate to attend the meeting.  Again, this ensures we meet our legal requirements under the hotel contract.

Payment is a two-part process.
     Register, then pay. If you are not the payment officer, forward your invoice to the payment officer. Forwarding keeps the online payment link intact. 

Wire transfers are preferable!
     Contact Richard Lareau at lareau@lareauconsultingservices.com  for instructions. Contact Carol Paterick at carolpaterick@gmail.com for assistance with registration and payment.
