Registration Information
Registration will open May 1, 2025!
The conference rates reflect the true costs for planning and implementing a national, multi-day conference. As we do not wish for registration fees to be a barrier to participation, we are offering a limited number of partial scholarships intended for students, retirees, and others for whom the full cost of registration is a barrier to attendance. Scholarships are only available for 2-day conference registrations.
Conference scholarship applications open on May 1.
