New This Year!

New this year, exclusively for you when you register for the conference!

1. Nonmember Registrants—Special Offer for FREE Membership!
   This year, when you register for the full conference at the nonmember rate, you will automatically receive a free, one-year Basic Membership to continue your learning long after the conference is over. ASCD Basic Membership includes subscriptions to Educational Leadership magazine, Education Update newsletter, and member discounts. Rates where there are no nonmember fee structures (Presenters, Student, Senior) are not eligible.
   
   
2. FREE Virtual Conference
   Selected sessions each day will be simulcast on the web and will allow participants to learn from and connect with educators from across the country and around the world. Planning on being with us in Philadelphia? As part of the full-conference registration fee, all registrants will receive access to archived sessions—you can catch up on sessions you missed or relive favorite sessions after the conference is over. 
   
   Can’t attend? Access to live and archived sessions is available for $129 to ASCD members and $159 to nonmembers. However you choose to participate in this year’s conference, we look forward to learning with you. For more information, go to www.ascd.org/virtualconference.
   
   
3. Open Seating
   No sessions require advance registration, so you can attend what you want. All seating is on a first-come, first-served basis. Check out our nearly 500 sessions and plan your conference experience today at You Are Here, our conference planner!

Annual Conference Registration Fees and Discounts

Find four ways to save on your conference registration fees below. View all of our fee options here.

1. Register early.
   Register by the early bird deadline, January 18, 2012.
   
   To make sure more educators can take advantage of this opportunity, we're extending the early bird rate until January 27. Now you have an additional nine days to save as much as $100 on registration.
   
   
2. Save on both Conference and Pre-Conference registrations.
   Receive a discount when you register for Annual Conference and a Pre-Conference Institute at the same time (ASCD refers to this as a combo fee). 
   
   
3. Save when you send a team.
   Every fifth person who registers from your school or district may attend Annual Conference, Pre-Conference Institutes, or both for free. To take advantage of this offer, all team members must register at the same time and for the same events, either Annual Conference, Pre-Conference Institutes, or both.
   
   All five registration forms must be mailed together. (For Pre-Conference Institutes, registrations must include materials fees for all attendees, including the attendee with the free registration.)
   
   
4. Save as a student or senior (62 or older).
   Receive this discount when you register over the phone with a credit card or purchase order. Call 1-800-933-2723 (toll-free) or 1-703-578-9600, then press 1, Monday–Friday, 8:00 a.m.–6:00 p.m. eastern time. This discount option is not available online.
