September 17-19, 2008This class is now full
The three-day program fee is $1500 for the first person from a facility and $1100 for each additional person from the same facility. We are offering a 20% discount of these fees for participants from facilities with a current Rigaku service contract. The session will be limited to twelve (12) persons total (dependent on demand, we reserve the right to limit enrollment to one person per facility). Separating into two groups of 6 facilitates an individual approach to the training.
We reserve a block of rooms at a nearby hotel with a special rate for the
training session. Rigaku's own travel agent is available to help you with your
travel arrangements. Payment may be made by purchase order, facility check or
credit card. Lunch each day and the group dinner are included in the program
fee. Please return the registration form and survey
form no later than four weeks prior to the session you plan to attend this
session. Further instructions/information will be forwarded upon receipt of the
registration.
