   2. Complete registration or confirm previous registration. 
   3. Click "I Wish to Attend the Morning Workshops Followed By Afternoon 
   Workshops"
   4. Next, select a morning workshop (PS: there's no option to not select 
   a morning workshop) 
   5. Next, select "Workshop 09: Islandora for Managers for the afternoon 
   workshop." 
   6. Confirm no extra cost has been added to your registration. Workshops 
   have no associated fees. 
   7. Click "Submit." 
   8. If you have trouble with the registration, please contact
