| Description |
Come one come all, It is never too early to start thinking about attending the 2016 conference. This proves to be a most exciting and rewarding event.
We will have 2 choices for pre-conference events, and even more CE credits offered than we have the past years.
Get your registration form in the mail to secure a space. You will note some increase in fee, this was done to meet the requests for a more substancial breakfast options and because food costs have increased. We hope you will understand. Remember if you are concerned about the price, you can apply for an IAER stipend. Check the IAER website for further information about this.
If you are interested in helping at the conference, be a session moderator, help at the check in table, or help attendees with vision loss. Please let me know.
