Contestant Events - Optional

• Optional Registration
• Black & Blue Ball

Optional Pre-registration

An optional pre-registration will be held on Wednesday evening, May 20, 2009, between 7:00-9:00 PM. The location for this event will be posted outside the IML Office in the Hilton Chicago.

Contestants are encouraged to attend this event. It provides you with an opportunity to complete your paperwork in advance, thereby allowing you more time to socialize at the required Thursday afternoon registration/orientation.

Strictly informal, this event also provides you with another opportunity to meet and socialize with your fellow contestants.
