Attendance Policy for Minors: We are excited this year to welcome back learners of all ages. If you are under the age of 18, you must have your parent or legal guardian fill out a minor participation release form and return it to the Humane Society of the United States either via email or mail. You can also upload the completed form during the registration process. Minors are required to have a parent or legal guardian register and accompany them during the conference.

In-person conference registration includes everything noted in the Schedule of Events except an optional Learning Lab.

Learning Labs are daylong sessions (8:30am-3:00pm) that allow for a deeper dive into the specified topics. Learning Labs include lunch.
