Frequently Asked Questions When is the registration deadline? October 20th How do I register? Print the registration from this website and mail it in to the address on the form, or, look below for our online registration. Is there a cost? No, and, lunch is included! My son/daughter has school the day of the conference - how can they attend? Print the information about the conference and bring it to your school. Perhaps several other students would like to also attend and the teachers/staff can make this happen. I am a parent. Can I attend with my son/daughter? This conference is specifically designed for young-adults - to think about his and her dreams and plans. It is an opportunity to be among other young-adults with similar interests. If your son/daughter does not need you to support him/her, then it is not necessary for you to attend. If your son/daughter needs accommodations, please let us know what these are and we will make every effort to support him/her. We are limiting the event to the first 150 people who register and we'd like to give preference to young-adults.
