The conference Opening Plenary Session will begin at 3:00 pm on Wednesday, May 22 featuring a Poverty Simulation. It is important to be "on time" in order to receive the maximum impact of this interactive exercise and learning opportunity. The Poverty Simulation is a unique tool that educates everyone about the day-to-day realities of life with a shortage of money and an abundance of stress.

Print the Workshop Matrix as well as the Workshop Descriptions, select your workshop sessions, then proceed to the conference registration. Workshop registrations will be chosen across time slots.

Once you complete the entire registration process, a confirmation email will be sent which will include the course offerings you have chosen to attend. Beside your name, click on the (+) to view all workshops for which you have registered and then print. Keep a copy of your workshop registration for use at the conference.
