Registration Opportunities:

• Group Discount: Experience the Annual Conference as a team! We encourage teams of senior administrators from schools to come to the conference together, attend workshops, and bring back shared experiences and knowledge to put to use on their campuses.
  
• Teacher Discount: Friday, February 26, is a day with programming devoted to the art and science of teaching. Presentations by seminal thinkers are intended to inspire and challenge teachers and administrators. Several one-hour conference workshops focus on issues of instructional methods and curriculum. See the discounted one-day teacher rates for full-time teachers. This is for Friday only.

The value of NAIS conferences
As your school budget tightens, you may be looking even closer at how much it costs to attend a program such as the NAIS Annual Conference. In picking locations for our conferences, we choose from a relatively small number of cities that have facilities that can accommodate a crowd of our size. We also consider a fair yearly rotation in location, from east coast to west coast to the midwest. And lastly, we look at cities that have both a major airport and a location to which a significant number of our member schools can drive.   

NAIS is pleased that we have been able to hold Annual Conference registration prices for the 3rd year in a row.  We realize attending the conference is a commitment by your school, and we pledge as always—and this year more than ever – to deliver to you an experience of great value. We are looking in new ways at how to deliver to you a conference that encourages you to think big, yet also gives you practical tools to put right to use and that can be shared with colleagues. It is times of great challenges like what we are going through today that we can learn most from interaction with each other. We hope that you will entrust NAIS to provide the venue for that interaction, and the context in which to help your schools to thrive, survive, and energize.

Note: To reduce our environmental footprint, NAIS will no longer distribute conference bags at the Annual Conference.
