Some reminders when registering:

  • Please review the agenda (find link above) to best determine the length of your stay at Annual Conference.
  • Please exercise patience when registering. With the large amount of traffic to the website on February 17, it may take a moment to load.
  • Using a reliable Internet connection for this process will ensure a smoother process.
  • Please read through the instructions carefully, making sure to check the “I have read the policy” message.
  • When you click the submit button, you should receive a message confirming that we received your request. If you have not received that message, most likely your reservation did not go through. Again, please be patient and retry.
