Convention Registration
& Costs:
HDSA has changed the registration fee schedule by reducing the costs for families (two or more adults and adults with children) to attend. Based on figures from last year's Convention, about 45% of attendees were with a family. This number is expected to increase this year and HDSA wants to provide as much financial support as possible to families. The below full registration fees INCLUDE all convention events such as the Friday night social gathering and the Saturday Generation 2000 Dinner.
