This page provides a more detailed look at the registration system, so you’ll be ready when you log in to register.
The top of the page has general conference information including the dates and location, and a link where you can contact the conference registrar.
To begin, you enter your email address, select your registration type and then continue.
Step 1 – About You
The “About You” section has your basic contact information and your guild affiliation (if any). Be sure to fill in all the required items which are marked with the red *. For your password, just create a simple one with numbers and letters, no symbols.
Step 2 – Volunteer, Demonstration, and Conference Package
Next, tell us if you’re interested in Volunteering, Demonstrating, and if you are registering for the Conference Package. Once you have said yes to the Conference Package a blue dial will circle as it updates the page.
Step 3 – Sessions
Selecting the Conference Package opens the Sessions view. Click the plus sign before “Conference Package”.
Step 4 – Seminars
Once the Conference Package is open, click in the circle to select it. A blue dial will circle again as it updates the page.
In the Sessions section you select seminars, evening events, workshops, meetings, and activities. Click the + next to any of the groupings to see the full list of items in that category.
The Conference Package includes 3 seminars. If a session you want is full, being on the wait list does not count as one of the seminar choices. Select your alternate choices, in addition to adding yourself to the wait list for your top choices. You will be contacted if a space opens up.
Step 5 – Evening Events
If you registered for a Conference Package (available until March 23) it includes admission to the evening events. Click in the box next to all the events you are able to attend; again the blue dial will circle around. If there’s an event you won’t be able to attend, please do not select it.
Guest Tickets for Evening Events may be purchased at the end of the registration form.
If you select the Saturday Evening Banquet, you will see the Banquet Information box and the Diet Information for Guests box. After entering the guest diet information, don’t forget to select the guest banquet ticket at the end of the form where you can specify entrée choice.
Step 6 – Workshops, Meetings, and the Towel Exchange.
To select workshops, click on the plus sign before each type to view and select them.
For meetings, select those you plan to attend.
If you are participating in the towel exchange, follow the link to the website. Please note, when you select or deselect the towel exchange it moves you either up or down in the registration form, just navigate back to it.
Step 7 – Calculate Order and the Cancellation Policy
Don’t forget to select the guest ticket at the end of the form if you’re bringing a guest. Click Calculate Order.
Step 8 – Agreement with the Cancellation Policy and Submit Registration
Once you’ve read and agree with the cancellation policy, submit your registration which will proceed to payment.
If you are concerned about timing out or power blips or an unreliable internet connection during your registration session, you can click on the “Calculate Order” button to stay active in the system. This doesn’t save your information; if you close the tab without submitting, your changes will be discarded.
When you have made all of your selections you click the “Submit Registration” button at the very end of the registration form. If you’ve already registered and have made changes then click the “Submit Changes to Registration” button, also at the very end of the registration form. This is when the system will detect and report errors, such as passwords that don’t match or timing conflicts. When you submit your registration, the system will take you to the credit card payment system if you have a balance due. You can go back to the registration system as often as you want to make changes, additions, and deletions.
Individual session changes and cancellations can be done on the registration website, but full cancellations cannot be processed online. If you need to cancel all of your conference purchases, please email the Registrar at registrar@anwgconference.org. For information about refunds please see the conference Cancellation Policy – ANWG 2025 Conference.
Conflict Blocking and Waitlisting
You cannot be enrolled simultaneously in two open sessions scheduled for the same day and time. You are allowed to select an OPEN seminar and a FULL seminar in the same day and time slot. You will be enrolled in the open seminar. You will be added to the waitlist for the full seminar. Waitlisted seminars do not count toward the Conference package three seminar maximum. You cannot select one open session and two Full/waitlist sessions in the same day/time slot.
Waitlisting and conflict blocking rules work the same for workshops except there is no maximum limit on workshops. The limit will be determined by conflict blocking.
The “Conflicting Choices” warning appears at the head of the sessions screen. The warning flashes. Conflicting choices means you have picked two or more open sessions in the same day/time slot. The warning message is misleading. All your selected sessions will display but they may not be highlighted. You must review all the selected sessions and determine which one(s) you are willing to deselect.
