You are able to register and create an invoice for mailing a payment. All registration fees are due in the national office by June 1. Attendance at the 2026 Educators Rising National Conference will not be permitted until all registration fees have been paid in full.
IMPORTANT: Room Block Discount Codes for Registrants
For those attendees who book their stay at one of the conference hotels, use the Conference hotel registration code for your hotel, link below, to remove the $150 surcharge from the registration price for each attendee.
Do not use this code until you have confirmed your hotel reservation at one of the designated conference hotels. Any registrant who uses the promotional code without an active booking at an official conference hotel will be invoiced for the $150 difference in registration fees.
Permission Forms
All students attending the conference will need to be Active-level paid members and will need to submit a signed Personal Conduct Form and a Parent/Guardian Consent and Release from Liability form.
