Announcement: All registration for The 2022 IDEA Conference has Closed
As of 8/10/22 we have closed registration and the waiting list for the 2022 IDEA Conference.
If you have any additional questions, please email the IDEA Conference inbox.
Professional Conference Registration (closed)
ADE/ESS is pleased to announce the opening of registration for the 2022 IDEA Conference. The conference registration fee for professionals is $450 per person and can be paid by credit card, check, or purchase order. ADE/ESS is aware that PEAs may have approaching procurement deadlines related to the issuance of purchase orders, so please do not delay in registering for the conference. Registration is anticipated to fill quickly. Due to the reduced capacity at this year's conference, ADE/ESS may cap registrations at the entity level in order to ensure that all stakeholders have equitable opportunity to attend. ADE/ESS will communicate directly with your entity if this cap occurs.
We understand that some districts and agencies will not be able to create Purchase Orders (POs) until after July 1. We also recognize you may need to reserve multiple slots, but do not have names and unique emails for each registrant. In these cases, you may have completed the Save My Seat Reservation form. A copy of the valid PO and a completed Bulk Enrollment form are then required to be sent to the IDEA Conference inbox no later than July 22, 2022.
