Registration Information

 Registration is now available!

Capacity is limited and advance registration is required. Registration will close one week prior to each event or once capacity has been reached.

The registration fee will be $100 for the in-person conferences and $50 for the virtual conference, payable by credit card only. We cannot accept checks or purchase orders. 

Upon registration, you will receive online payment instructions. Full payment is due within three (3) business days to confirm your registration. 

Once payment is processed, registration fees are nonrefundable and cannot be transferred to another date or location.

 

Group registrations

Group registrations are welcome if you have multiple counselors from your school or program who plan to attend and be paid for as a group. You will need to provide all of the required information for the first counselor in your group during the online registration. For each additional counselor, you will only need to provide their first name, last name and a unique email address. Once complete, each counselor will receive a confirmation email with instructions to add their individual details.
