REGISTRATION
This year there will be one registration price for all participants and you have the option to choose a stipend from Chromosome 18 or purchase a ticket at the regular price.
Stipends are generated from funds raised throughout the year and distributed to help offset the price of conference fees. Upon registering, you will notice the regular participant conference fee is $350. You are welcome to use the $125 stipend, bringing the conference fee to $225 per participant.
For those participants needing supervised care (baby, child, and teen childcare by childcare professionals) you will also find two registration options. You can choose to register these participants with the stipend of $300, reducing your cost to $275, or at the full conference price with childcare fees of $575.
Everyone must pre-register online. There will be no on-site registration.
Everyone attending, even children, needs to register. People who do not need to register might be, for example, grandparents or others who are coming for the purpose of babysitting your child. They do not need to register if they will NOT:
- Attend any sessions (for parents, siblings, or self-advocates)
- Eat conference-planned group meals
- Attend any evening sessions – such as Ladies’ Night, Mens’ Night, etc.
They may attend the Starfish Dinner & Dance if they pay for their own seat ($125 each) or as the guest of someone who purchases a Starfish Dinner & Dance Table.
Please note: reduced cost stipend registration and childcare registration will close on June 9, 2023 at midnight (CST). All conference registration will close on July 1, 2023 at midnight (CST). No registration will be allowed after this time. Reminder: There will be no on-site registration at conference.
