So What Exactly ARE Weekend and A La Carte Registrations?
These days, everyone is doing more with less. We know it, our NECA contractors know it, and everyone who has to ever travel for business knows it.
Which is why NECA 2011 San Diego is featuring our first-ever weekend and a la carte registrations. Weekend and a la carte registrations are exclusively available to NECA members. If you want to minimize the time and money you spend away from the office, while maximizing your education and experiences in San Diego, these are the best choices for you.

In addition to the Weekend Packages #1 and #2 I need hotel information for employees that we want to invite. I would like to put together the package for them: Weekend Package #1 or #2 + Hotel accommodations of my choice. Where do I obtain hotel information? What is the cost if an employee’s spouse will also attend the NECA events in a weekend package? I know it won’t impact the hotel costs. Also, how does one complete the Registration and Housing Form for these “weekend” employee guests? Thank you.
