Virtual Access Registration
Can’t make it to Chicago? You can still attend the CSS 2010 and Seed Expo! ASTA is proud to offer a new registration category for seed industry professionals who want to take part in all of the networking and education that the convention has to offer
but might face travel limitations in our current economy. It offers more than access to convention materials, the Virtual Access community provides a personalized schedule you can create and download to your mobile device, speaker and exhibitor information and attendee rosters. You can still connect with all convention registrants and participate in your own social media communities, whether it’s Facebook, Linked In, Twitter or the like – to help meet others in your industry before the convention, or just online. Full convention registrants will have access to the Virtual Access community automatically, so your on-site appointment making just got easier!
