SOSP 2009 Registration
How do I register?
You can register for SOSP 2009 by visiting this link, which requires Javascript. Existing registrants may use the same link to view and/or change their registration.
This online registration tool will accept Visa, Mastercard, and American Express, and we greatly appreciate attendees using one of these forms of payment. If using one of these forms of payment is not possible, send a note to sosp09-registration@acm.org.
What is the early bird deadline?
September 1st is the deadline for early registration. Note that the hotel cut-off date is a little bit later, on September 10th. This means that after that date the hotel will start releasing rooms set aside for SOSP attendees, which means you will not be guaranteed getting a room at the conference hotel.
Can I register on-site?
On-site registration will be possible but only with a credit card. We will not be prepared to deal with cash.

1. Name and mailing address as it appears on your passport
2. The name of the conference you wish to attend
3. Registration confirmation number
