A. If you're filled up the electronic registration form, it doesn't mean that you're registered for the event - You'll still need to make payment for the event before you can confirm the registration. After you've registered electronically for the event, you'll receive an email titled 'CTU2010 - We've received your registration' within 1 working day, which will contain instructions about how to make payment.

 

A.

Step 1: Complete the online registration form (Loaded in popup window - Please enable pop-up window)

o In the transaction, include your NRIC/Passport/FIN Number (if possible) as a transaction note. This will allow the registration team to check for payment easily

A. We do not encourage other ways of payment as there is a single digital record that the payment is successful and to whom. It'll help us to match your payment with the registrations as well. However, if you do insist, you can use ATM to transfer to POSB Savings: 072-19464-0. KEEP THE RECEIPT AS EVIDENCE OF PAYMENT (scan and attach in your email registration). Send the txn reference as part of your registrations.

 

A. No. We will treat you as a walk in and you pay $15. We want commitment from attendees so we can better allocate the valuable resources that the community leaders put together to prevent wastage. In the past, we wasted money catering for food for attendees whom registered and failed to turn up.

 

A. Please immediately send an email to microlau@sgdotnet.org with your details again. It might have been a lapse and we may be overwhelmed with the payment transactions. Alternatively, you may contact Alvin Lau at 6556 6696.

 

A. As earlier explained, we needed commitment. However, if current methods of transferring is a pain. Please go ahead and register. Indicate that you will pay $15 on 18th Dec 2009 when you walk in. At this point, we will trust you and take your word to turn up. A list of community members (name and handle) will be published if they registered, never pay and failed to turn up that day. This is because we'll use the fund collected from others who paid to cover those who promised to come, but never turn up.

 

 

A. CTU takes place twice a year. Usually in June and Dec of the calendar year.

 

A. Professionals and Students who feels that they want to know more about the presented technology should attend. We welcome anyone to come and join us, however, only criteria is you must be a member of any of the local user group alliance.

 

A. The past CTUs we had were free for attendees. That is because sponsors and organizers pay for it. Over the years, there has been an increase in participants. But there were also an increase the number of people who registered and failed to turn up.

 

For each registered person, we cater lunch and prepare door gifts (paid by sponsors and organizers). The wastage is increasingly becoming disturbing as we waste hundreds of dollars each time we run the event which could have been put to better use.

 

We seek your understanding on why we impose the $10. It will help us on the following;

A. Most importantly, $10 gets you the entry into CTU. However, let me summarize what you can expect when you turn up on 19th Dec 2009.

Q. What are the prizes to win at the end of the day?
