Guest registration is available for spouses and partners of full conference attendees and includes all meals, plenary sessions, and the networking event.

Students and recent graduates from accredited educational institutions may be eligible to attend our conference for a special student rate that includes access to all conference programming.

Students should complete the registration process and include a letter with area of study, anticipated graduation date, and the reason for attending the conference. Students who are affiliated with an organization that is a Council member should register through the organization.

Affinity Groups

The Council is pleased to extend the member rate to all members of Council-recognized affinity groups, whether they are Council members or not. Additionally, the Council will pay Council-recognized affinity groups $100 for every registered annual conference participant who is one of their members but not a Council member and who registers for the conference using the appropriate discount code. If your foundation would like to take advantage of this initiative and if your foundation is a member of a Council-recognized affinity group but not a member of the Council, please contact your affinity group to receive the appropriate discount code.

Pending Member

Nonmembers must pay nonmember registration fees. Pending membership applications or applications sent with the registration form do not qualify for registration at the member rate. If you pay the nonmember fee for the conference and your Council membership is approved by December 31, 2012, the difference between member and nonmember conference fees will be credited toward your organization's dues payment. Please call the Membership Services staff at 703-879-0645 for more information.
