Register online:

Online registration will open April 6, 2009. Register by June 1, 2009, to save $10.

Online pre-registration is closed for the year. After June 1st, please register at the "Walk-In Registration" counter at the conference.

Cost

Register by June 1, 2009, and the conference costs $50 for an individual. Your spouse is free. Save an additional $10 by being an OCEANetwork Supporting Family. That makes the conference only $40 for an individual or a couple!

After June 1, 2009, the conference fee is $60 payable at the door. (Or $50 if you become an OCEANetwork Supporting Family.) We have plenty of room this year for walk-in registration, so if you missed the June 1st deadline, don't hesitate to come to the Oregon Convention Center and register at the door.

Children & Young Adults

Young Adults (12 and older) are invited to attend the conference with their parents. Help them catch the vision for discipleship. Registration for teens cost $10 each.

Children (3 - 11): No children's program is planned for this year and there is no child care at this conference. However, we do have room in the sessions this year for well behaved children. Children are expected to be with their parents at all times. Registration for children ages 3 -11 is $10 each.

Nursing infants and toddlers (0 - 2) may attend with their mother. You are welcome in the sessions during those times your baby is quiet, but we ask that you leave when the infant is noisy so that others may hear the session clearly.

OCEANetwork is using a public building with several other events occuring at the same time. OCEANetwork will not be responsible for unattended youth.

Grandparents:

Grandparents can be a home school family’s greatest ally! To help them see a bigger picture of home education, we invite you to bring your children’s grandparents to the conference. Give them the opportunity to see the hope for the coming generations, rub shoulders with home-educated young people, and hear from some of the best homeschool advocates in the nation.

Grandparents can register for $10 each when registering on the same form as your family. This applies only to grandparents of children being home educated by their parents. It does not apply to grandparents who are home educating their own children or their grandchildren.

Exhibit Hall Only Pass

We believe the curriculum hall and the conference work together to equip you for the upcoming school year. Therefore, we encourage you to register for the whole conference to obtain the best preparation for next year.

However, in combining the NW Curriculum Exhibition and the annual conference, we realize there are some who prefer to attend the Exhibit Hall only. Therefore, we will be offering Exhibit Hall Only passes this year for $10 each person ($5 for children 3 - 16). (Children are not allowed in the Used Curriculum Exchange.)

The Exhibit Hall Only pass includes admission to the Exhibit Hall both Friday and Saturday, the Used Curriculum Exchange and admission to the closing keynote session and graduate recognition on Saturday. 

Individuals with an Exhibit Hall Only Pass will not be able to attend any other workshop or other keynote sessions at the conference. You may apply $10 toward your conference registration on site if you decide to attend the whole conference.

Exhibit Hall Only Passes must be purchased at the door. They go on sale starting at 9 a.m. on Friday, June 12, and will be available for purchase throughout the conference. Used Curriculum Sale shopping times for those purchasing Exhibit Hall Only Passes will will be after volunteers and families who pre-registered for the entire conference.
