  KNOW BEFORE YOU GO (REGISTER)

  Please read all details below before registering.  Registrations for Field Trips and Awards Banquet are separate from general conference registration this year. Links to sign-up for these will be emailed to you after completing your general conference registration. Select "Invoice Me" for each registration until your have made all your selections, then log-in to pay and finalize your registration.

  Why are they separate sign-ups?

  Offering separate registration pages for General Registration, Field Trips, and Awards Banquet, makes it easier for you to change your registration plans later. Additionally, offering separate invoices for General Registration and the "extras" may make it easier for some educators to be reimbursed by their employer. We certainly hope that is the case for you!

  Wait, how do I change my field trip registration?

  Before making any payments, log-in to your Member account and select "My Registrations". You can cancel your registration, then sign-up for your new field trip preference. Refunds are not automatic, do not cancel a registration that you have paid for. Once a payment is made, your choices are locked in and your spot in that oh-so-popular field trip is secure.
