You do need to pre-register for the conference.  In order to do this you will need to utilize the U-Train system which is found at https://www.utah.train.org.  Once at the website, the first thing you need to do is set up an account in U-Train as a new user (if you have not already done so previously).  Once your U-Train account registration is completed you will then proceed to log in and then either do a course search for the keyword(s) ARES or RACES or on the right side of the home page key in the actual course number, which is 1011069 for the ARES/RACES Conference.  Once you have the course listed on the screen, click on that to bring you to the registration/information page and click on the registration tab to register.  The system will indicate that your request has been submitted and has to be approved. U-Train notifies the State Training Staff and they will acknowledge by email that you are signed up for the ARES/RACES Conference.
