What does it cost to attend?
The sooner you register, the less it costs. You might also qualify for special rates for students, emerging professionals, and for staff of non-profit organizations and government agencies. See the pricing page for details.

I need to register more than one person from my company. What should I do?
Registering multiple people on-line can be tricky, so it’s best if NESEA staff registers your group. Email Diane Robinson, Conference Registrar – drobinson@nesea.org – with attendees’ names and email addresses and whether you prefer for us to call you for credit card information or email you an invoice.

Do I have to pick which sessions I plan to attend prior to the conference?
No. With a conference pass you may attend any session you wish. Additionally, this year most sessions will be videotaped and shared with attendees after the event.

Can I get CEUs for attending?
We offer a mixture of credits: BPI, AIA LU/HSW and AIA LU.Each session page lists which CEUs are available for that session. PHIUS offers 5 CPHC CEUs for attending the full conference; self-report with verification code 12375. Attendees receive a certificate of attendance to self-report hours to other accrediting organizations.

Will there be food?
Yes. Your conference registration includes a light breakfast, sandwiches and salads for lunch, and both an opening and closing reception with hors d'oeuvres and complimentary beer and wine. Coffee and tea will be available all day as well. Our excellent caterers, Between The Bread, are back by popular demand.
