Do presenters get discounted conference registration?
EACE22 break-out session and/or speed learning session presenters do not receive discounted registration. Presenters are responsible for registering themselves for the conference and making travel/hotel arrangements. If a presenter cannot attend the full conference, entry for the session only can be granted. If you are a presenter coming in for your session only, you must contact EACE HQ at [email protected] so the proper entry badge is prepared for you to pick up at registration.
Presenters needing financial assistance to attend are encouraged to apply for a Professional Development Grant and/or Diversity & Inclusion Scholarship which will open in late Fall 2021.
