FAQ

• What does the Registration Fee cover? It covers attending the conference including the plenaries and all the classes, except the extra fee classes. What it does NOT cover: meals, lodging, extra fee classes and exhibits.

• Do I have to sign up for classes? You only need to sign up for the optional Extra Fee classes. All other classes are included in your registration.
• Does a parent have to attend Kid’s classes with their child? We ask parents to use their judgment about leaving their kids alone in the class. This is a class not a day-care. We want kids to be safe and enjoy learning. We welcome parents! Parents are responsible for their kids at all times. Some of the Extra Fee classes may require a parent to assist. It will say in the class description if an adult is required to be there.
