If you are under 18, and have not yet provided a completed waiver of liability, you must do so in order to claim your badge.

    Identification will be required to pick up passes for pre-registered individuals as well as those registering at the door. If an attendee does not have any identification, they will not be able to pick up pre-registered passes nor purchase a convention pass at the door.

Group Registration

     One payment of appropriate price can cover for any number of number attendees, but each attendee must fill out their own registration form because each attendee is required to sign the attached waiver and provide the associated information. All forms must be submitted together with the single payment.
     Additionally in order to get the $3 discount YOU MUST HAVE OVER 10 PEOPLE IN YOUR GROUP! Failure to pay proper price means you will be charged an additional $3 at the door before you are allowed in.

     If you are paying by check or money order please make payments payable to Centennial High School. 

     Remember that electronic and conventional mail is not 100% reliable. Allow some extra time for processing of your registration. Every effort will be taken to ensure that no registration is missed, but we do not take responsibility for missing, late, or misdirected registrations.
