Registration

Registration is open.

How to Register

All attendees must individually pre-register whether you are a regular paying attendee or couple, a scholarship hopeful, or if you have been already awarded a scholarship. The online pre-registration (hosted at cornbury.org, one of our sponsoring clubs) helps us collect essential information to process your application and does not obligate you to pay or attend.

Follow these simple steps to register:

Pre-register each attendee online. When submitted, you will be given a form to print. Each printed form must be mailed in and be accompanied with your payment and/or scholarship award voucher.
If you are applying for a scholarship, apply for the scholarship on-line using the scholarship application form on the Scholarship page. If you are awarded a scholarship, a voucher will be emailed to you that can be used as cash when mailing your registration form and payment. You will need to pay any remaining balance to complete your registration.
Reserve your room directly with the hotel. In order to ensure that your preferences or special needs are met, you must make your own lodging arrangements.
Arrange your own travel plans.

If you are a resource and/or presenter:

Work with your Resource or Presenter Coordinator.
