Important:

  • Convention Registration includes annual Membership. 
  • The early registration deadline is September 4, 2025. (Beginning 9/5/25, the registration fees increase by $25.)

There are two ways to register and pay:

  1. You can register online and pay online.
  2. You can register online and pay later by check or cash. When you do this, you will receive an invoice that you can attach to your payment or give to your school, if your school will pay for you. 

Convention Hotel:

The convention hotel is the Holiday Inn, Bloomington-Normal, located near Heartland College at 8 Traders Circle, Normal, IL. 

We have gatherings in the hotel on Thursday and Friday nights and everyone is welcome to those events, even if you don't have a reservation at the hotel. (All day-time sessions are at Heartland College.)

We had a block of sleeping rooms at the Holiday Inn, but they were limited, and the deadline for reservations in our block has passed. However, you may check directly with the hotel to see if rooms are otherwise available.





We are looking forward to seeing everyone again.
