Look for emails from sender captcolour@gmail.com. Be sure to check your “junk, span, non-focused, non-follower, deleted” or other filters. Searching for the sender captcolour@gmail.com should work also. The codes are used in leu of payment for two individuals to register.

If your attendee is not a SPE member, they do not have to join but they must create an account.
