I think you can take a peek at the vendor room and things in the hallway 
for free.  And I think you can get into the auction for either nothing or 
a small nominal fee (not sure this year).  Definitely have to register for 
the talks and workshops, though.  My bias says that if you're on this 
list, you'd want to check out all the events, especially Amano's demo and 
Jan's Crypt talk.  I saw Jan in 1999, and can guarantee that you'll never 
hear more depth on this one genus anywhere else.
