If selected, you’ll receive a free registration to the conference. Register to attend by September 1, 2016, and you’ll lock in the lowest possible rate. That is a savings of $800 off the standard registration fee.  Why San Antonio? This beautiful city has a multitude of activities to offer outside of the great content at Kscope17 for you and your family.
