Why is it that the SOA announcements for webcasts do not include information about the price? The only way I have been able to check on pricing is to start to register. There has to be a better way.

Heck, I didn't realize there was a discount for the fee to the Spring Life Meeting for speakers til I registered.

Anyway, good rule of thumb for SOA when they put out these announcements -- answer:
- who?
- what?
- when?
- where?
- why?
and
- how much?

This is a reasonable complaint with an easy fix. When SOA announces webcasts, we provide a description and the link to register. Some webcasts (and other events) have multiple registration fees, and listing all of them would be awkward, especially in an email. But we will change the link on the announcement to direct people to the main page, which outlines all of the registration fees. That will reduce the amount of hunting necessary to find this important information.
