📢 For Speakers & Volunteers
All speakers must register for the conference ahead of time. If you are attending the full conference, you are eligible for $50 off full conference registration. When you register, you will use the same registration form as all other conference attendees. When you get to the end of the form where it says “How would you like to pay?” please select “Invoice Me” from the list, then click on the “Pay Later” button. Please ignore the first automatically-generated invoice you receive immediately after registering — Membership Services Coordinator Lise Hawkos will add your discount and send you an updated invoice to complete your payment.
If you have questions about your eligibility for this discount, please contact initiatives@vraweb.org. Please note, this discount is only applicable for full conference registrations. If you are only attending the day of your presentation, you may register for a day pass.
