On-site registration is accepted but will be assessed a $35 fee per registration. Payment must be made by credit card or check at the time of on-site registration.

Is there a discount for registering 10 or more people?
Yes! Use code Reg10+2026 for 5% off your total registrations.
​
What should I do if I have dietary restrictions?
When you register, please add this to the "dietary restrictions" section of the form. Did someone else register you and you want to be sure they selected your dietary restrictions? Contact us here to confirm your selections.
​
Do I select my classes in advance?
You absolutely can select your courses in advance, but you do NOT need to enter that information at the time you register. Once you register, you will receive an email in early January on how to download the conference app and select your sessions. Your selected sessions will be confirmed when you check in on the first day of the conference. It is always a good idea to choose a back up for each session just in case one of our speakers is not able to make it at the last minute.
​
Where can I find the list of sessions available?
When the sessions are set, they will be listed on the conference home page and will also be available in the conference app.
​
How can I become a speaker at the event?
Check out the Presenter page for details. Requests for Session Proposals (RFP) open in the late summer/early fall each year. For our 2026 conference, the RFP closed October 20, 2025.​
