Registration Workshops Floorplan Keynote Meal

WHY REGISTER IN ADVANCE?
We use a convention app called Whova, which includes the floorplan, workshop schedule (“agenda”), virtual booths for all participating vendors, any sale information or special deals from them, streaming workshops the week prior to the Fair, access to those recorded workshops for 3 months after the Fair, workshop descriptions and speaker bios, and an opportunity to participate in a contest to win one of TEN $100 Amazon gift certificates! Registering as soon as possible gives you time to preview all of these things and we will have a pre-printed nametag ready for you when you arrive at the Fair, making entrance faster and easier for everyone! 

REGISTRATION INFO:
Admission includes the “Virtual Week” pre-Fair live online workshops (April 14-17), Exhibit Hall entrance and access to all in-person workshops. (Keynote meal tickets are a separate purchase, at $15 per seat.) The admission price is the same for each of our four Fair locations, whether our Curriculum Fair is one day or two in that location.

Note: You need only purchase one admission ticket for your entire family.
