Online Registration
We encourage you to register through the Online Conference Registration system. Designed to be simple and user-friendly, online registration offers secure credit card processing, with immediate payment and registration confirmation. Even better, once you are logged in to the system, membership discounts are automatically calculated with your registration. By using the online system, you will have access to real-time views of available session offerings and secure your event selections instantly, with registration confirmation and payment receipt delivered automatically via email. You can also use the online system to make adjustments to your session selections up until the close of registration on May 14, 2012 (subject to session availability).
Online Registration for those Paying with a Check or Money Order
Need to pay your registration fees with a check or money order? You will be given the option either to pay by credit card at the time of registration, or print an invoice and mail a check separately. All check payments must be received by the CLC office no later than May 1, 2012.
Before using online registration, be sure to read through the Conference Program (4.5 MB) 
and determine which sessions and events you wish to attend. It is crucial that you select your sessions as part of the online registration process in order to ensure your attendance at desired events.

Paper Registration
Those who are unable to submit their conference registration online should fill out the Conference Registration Form (1 MB) , and either fax or mail it to the CLC office with a check, following the instructions outlined on the form. This method of registration requires additional time for processing; allow at least three weeks for your registration to be entered into the system and confirmed by email. Please note, CLC cannot guarantee first-choice session selections, as certain events may fill or sell out online before registration forms can be processed.
On-Site Registration
If you miss the pre-registration deadline and find it necessary to register on-site for the conference, please bring your completed registration form, registration fees, and proof of full-time student status (if applicable) to the On-Site Registration Desk, where CLC staff will be available to assist you. Please note, reservations for the conference intensives and the hospital tour can be made by pre-registration only. All have limited space and will fill up quickly.
Registration Deadlines and Rates
The best discounted registration fees are available for those who register by March 16, 2012. The deadline for pre-registration is April 16, 2012, after which time, participants may only register on-site. Although we will do our best to accommodate everyone, those participants who register on-site may find there is only limited access to certain conference events, due to overwhelming popularity in the pre-registration phase or unanticipated demand from on-site registrants. To avoid disappointment, we highly recommend that you pre-register well in advance of the conference.
