NWC REU 2011

Step 1

One of many ways to get started is to go to the 2012 Annual Meeting home page: http://annual.ametsoc.org/2012/

From there, see image to the right. Click on Registration... Register Online.

Step 2

Look for the "Register for meetings above" link at the bottom of the set of events that include the 92nd AMS Annual Meeting and 11th Annual Student Conference. Click on it.

Step 3

At this point you need to log in. If you don't already have a login, create one.

Step 4

Most of you will check both the 92nd AMS Annual Meeting and 11th Annual Student Conference.

Step 5

Looks like you'll work through the 92nd Annual options first. My options look different than yours should look.... you should see student-appropriate options and amounts here. Select the option that costs $165, the student member price.*

*I'm assuming you are a national AMS student member... btw, you cannot attend the Student Conference if you're not a student member.

Step 6

This is on the page you're on right now... and it is for AMS planning purposes. You do not need to select the conference you're presenting at. What you want to do is choose the two that sound most interesting to you... the ones you're likely to sit in the most. This helps AMS plan room sizes.

Step 7

!! CAUTION !!

Your annual meeting registration already comes with a banquet ticket for you. If you have some really compelling need to attend one of the other two, talk to me before selecting one of these. They are super expensive and may not have anything to do with you REU travel funds.

I don't expect anyone to select any of these.

Step 8

For the Student Conference be sure you keep the option that costs $25.

(The other option is there to confuse you. ...actually, it is there for the special, invited presenters during the daytime. Your poster Sunday night does not count as "presenter" in this case.)

Step 9

If you wish to have something other than the standard meal at the awards banquet, you must let them know NOW. Happily, there hasn't been any charge for this in the past. Doesn't appear to be a charge now, either.

Step 10

The Contact Information is an important page.... read the notes on the image.

Step 11

Part 1— I'm not completely sure why they ask your hotel. Could be partly for emergency purposes. But may also be to hold hotels accountable to "count" all the attendees. What I understand is that AMS brokers deals at hotels in order to get a good price for attendees as well as discounts for meeting rooms. Hotels are willing to do this based up some level of profit they expect to have by selling rooms.

Part 2— This is also where you can edit your badge! So no matter what you put for your contact info, you can make this look right to reflect how you got to the meeting. REU should be on the first line because the program paid your work and travel. Your school can go on the second. I don't care which city/state you put. :)

Step 13

Double check how your badge will look. Make edits if you need to so that NWC REU Program is on the first line.

Step 14

Part 1— Check that the top looks right. You might see three lines... (1) AnnualMeeting for $165, (2) Student Conference for $25, and (3) Banquet for $0.

Part 2— Select the dropdown and select PO. The page will refresh to give you option to enter the PO number I gave you.*

*Remember, you must have a unique PO for each item you can charge by PO. PO's are like checks. Each has a unique number.

Step 15

Part 1— You asked me for a PO number before you started, right? Put it here after the screen refreshes from Step 14.

Part 2— Enter your email and my email for the receipts. Then you don't have to remember to forward your email to me. It's really important that I get a receipt for this so that we can take action on the PO!!

Step 16

You're done!! Check your email to make sure you received a confirmation.

Later, make sure I received it, too.
