Conference Early Bird Deadline March 7th
Early bird Conference registrations are coming in at a very good pace again this year from all over the province. If you have not mailed your registration in yet, we want to remind you that the cutoff date for the early bird rate is March 7th. If you want to take advantage of the MACHS member discount for your Conference registration, you are welcome to sign up as a new member and claim the discount immediately.
Looking for curriculum? Of course the curriculum halls at the Conference will once again be filled with hundreds of choices and knowledgeable exhibitors to help guide your choices. A source for used curriculum is now on our website where members can list what they want to sell for free. There is even a section for curriculum wanted. Maybe you have some curriculum to sell that will help someone else out and offset some of your new curriculum purchases at the Conference.
Looking for accommodations for the Conference? The downtown Radisson has a special MACHS rate during the Conference of $96 per night. Contact them at 1.800.333.3333
The Conference registration form and MACHS membership forms along with lots of information about the Conference are available on our website.
