Being mindful of escalating costs, which we are all seeing as we travel and attend conferences and meetings, we have set the Registration Fees for NWCCU's workshops and conference with the intent to offer an intellectually outstanding, fun, and affordable experience at the 2023 Annual Conference. The Registration Fees include prorated costs for meeting rooms, setup, food and beverage services, technical and hotel staffing, audiovisual equipment, and WiFi. In addition, a part of the Registration Fees cover honoraria and travel expenses for invited speakers and workshop facilitators, along with the complimentary registrations that are extended to select participants as part of our commitment to inclusivity. We are grateful for the generous support from sponsors, as their contributions offset the costs of organizing this event. If you have questions or require additional information about the event or Registration Fees, please contact stoth@nwccu.org.
