Fees, Group Discounts, Hotel Reservations
Two Ways to Participate
- Attend in-person. Sold out.
- Participate via live streaming video broadcast streamed over the internet. Online viewers receive access to all conference materials.
New: In-person and online participants receive access to recordings of all sessions on-demand for free after the conference. So if there are two simultaneous sessions of interest to you, you can attend one and listen to the other one later.

| Group Discounts are Available |
In-Person: Group rates are available for firms that simultaneously register three or more employees to attend the conference in person. We regret that group discounts cannot be applied retroactively. For more information, please call (202) 728-8131 or send us an email.
Video broadcast: A Multi-Viewer Access allows an unlimited number of people from the same firm to view the live video broadcast for one flat fee.
