Online user accounts are now quite common to Internet users; online accounts allow us to make purchases, remember preferences, and store information about us. Last year, SECO 2007 registrants created a perennial record when they registered to attend SECO 2007. SECO refers to this perennial record as a SECO Profile, and the profile stores basic contact information about its user. SECO uses the SECO Profile to facilitate the SECO experience. For example, SECO 2007 attendees will be able to quickly recall basic conact information when they register to attend SECO 2008. SECO Profiles will also store historical information such as past SECO attendance information. And, SECO Internet education users will have access to their Internet education experience through the SECO Profile.
The key to taking advantage of your SECO Profile is to use it consistently. If you attended SECO 2007, you have a SECO Profile. If you do not remember your SECO Profile username or password, you can request the information via e-mail. Even if you registered by fax or mail, SECO created a profile for you. Please take advantage of this convenience during your SECO 2008 registration experience. Click here to visit the SECO Profile login, or to request your username and password.
