*Plenary Seating Update

Interest in attending the 2009 GA has continued to grow, especially with President Obama and Prime Minister Netanyahu scheduled to speak. We currently expect more than 3,000 people to attend the GA. While advance online registration closed as of midnight Oct 29th, we will continue to accept a limited number of on-site registrants during the GA in Washington.

While every effort will be made to allow all participants to attend the 11am plenary sessions with these leaders, we will also provide a special on-site live TV feed nearby, to accommodate the expected large number of participants.

Priority for plenary seating will be given to those who registered before the deadline. On-site registration will take place Saturday, Nov 7th from 6pm - 10pm and Sunday, Nov 8th from 7am - 9pm.

Please call the GA Helpline at (212) 284-6990 with questions. We appreciate your understanding.
