Congrats on the new family member.
Unfortunately, the ability to register on site for meal related events will not be possible, as of this moment. It's been requested by the hotel that confirmed numbers be given to them at no later than 72 hours in advance so that appropriate accomodations can be made for the food related events.
You have up until the Teusday before Fest to decide if you'll be able to make a meal based event. However, I STRONGLY encourage everyone who is planning to attend to make your reservations NOW rather than later.
Thank you! Hope to see you there!
