RSVP today 

If you wish to attend Congress 2023 this Friday, we recommend you register prior to your arrival. 

While onsite attendees are welcome to register upon arrival (by visiting the Registration Desk in the Congress Hub), online registration can save you time, leaving more space to get out and enjoy everything Congress has to offer. 

If you are registering this week as part of an association conference, registering prior to arrival provides you with a reduced rate, versus doing so on site.  

Those planning to attend virtually must register online to gain access to the virtual platform. 

Visit Register for more information.
