- All Inclusive - you are coming to convention and planning to attend both the Birthday Luncheon and the Awards Banquet. This registration fee covers everything from Friday night to Sunday with one fee ($221 - Sorry, the first price published was an error!).
- Ala Carte Registration with Meals - you are coming to convention and are either a member presenter or an inductee or you are only able to attend one of the meals on Saturday. You must register ($75) and pay for the meal you are attending as separate payments (Luncheon $74, Banquet $80). For member presenters and inductees, this would be just the banquet, as you are a guest at the luncheon.
- Ala Carte Registration - you are coming to convention but do not plan to attend either the Birthday Luncheon or the Awards Banquet. you are welcome to attend all of the other activities of convention by paying the registration fee ($75).
- Special Insurance Registration - you can't attend convention this year but you wish to attend EITHER the Induction Ceremony on Saturday evening OR the Celebration of Life Ceremony on Sunday morning. You will not attend any other events, not even the banquet after the Induction ceremony. This registration includes you under our insurance policy ($20). This also means that you do not appear at the hotel before the event you are planning to attend. You do not come Saturday morning for the induction rehearsal, you do not hang out in the hotel lobby all day, you do not attend the inductees orientation. This registration is for people who are unable to join us for convention. If you will be with us most of the day Saturday, please register properly.
