Discounts
Our conference rates reflect our true costs for planning and implementing the 2023 PBE Conference, but the GLSI does not wish for registration fees to be a barrier to participation. We offer a limited number of discounted registrations for K-12 educators who would otherwise be unable to attend, and to retirees and K-12 or university students. Before you register, please contact Jan Sneddon (conference@greatlakesstewardship.org) to request a special promo code.
ADDITIONAL OPPORTUNITIES
Dragonfly Award Banquet
6–9 p.m. on Friday | $60
Join us at the Grand Rapids Public Museum—a truly amazing venue—for our traditional Dragonfly Award Banquet, when we honor people who have made significant contributions to the field of place-based stewardship education. Converse with colleagues and check out the wonderful exhibits, then enjoy dinner and an inspiring keynote address—and maybe a carousel ride, too!
