I just book my plane tickets and am getting ready to register for the convention.

I see that I can register for $75 for the following:
Speakers
T-Shirt
Banquet
BBQ

Of those things we're only interested in the Speakers and T-shirt.

On the Registration Page I can choose speaker only for $35.

I'm wanting to confirm that choosing speaker only + buying a T-shirt will will save me money but give me access to everything that the $75 registration would minus the banquet and BBQ.

We plan to also attend the Thursday and Friday day trips. I assume these can both be added to either the speaker only registration or the $75 registration?

I'm trying to balance Fish time with Girlfriend time. So going out to eat and doing things other than fish during the dinners.

It would appear we would save $40 each person since we're planning to not attend the banquet and BBQ.

Thanks for any insight. This will be our first fish convention

Yes you can register for just the Speakers and a T-Shirt. You would also not receive the $20 of raffle tickets that come with full registration.

The Friday BBQ is open to anyone who registers for the convention, "Full" or "Speakers" only. It is going to be at a local county park and is a social event. A time and place to rub elbows with other fish hobbyist and have some fun.

When you get here, look me up and I'll try to get you info on interesting places to eat at.
