New! Flexible Registration & Billing
Registrants may now edit their registration details through July 12.
This new feature provides greater flexibility, including the ability to manage business and personal expenses separately. For example, primary registrants may add a guest after registering themselves and pay separately if their firm is only covering their individual registration.
Primary registrations include CLE sessions, access to all break services & receptions/socials, the Banquet and the Community Picnic.

As always, a guest registration includes access to all break services & receptions/socials, the Banquet and the Community Picnic, but now it ties the guest to your primary registration—no need to create a guest profile!
