The conference pricing is $250 for an all-conference pass; $225 for a two-day pass; $175 for a one-day pass; and $150 for student registration.

Hotel reservations are due today. There are still a few hours left! We have plenty of rooms available at the Hilton and a limited number of rooms at the Hyatt. As part of a tax-exempt organization, you will need to provide a tax-exempt form at hotel check-out. As a reminder, tax exemption is only valid if we are using a university procurement method (ie, Pcard, PO) to pay for the invoice directly. If an individual makes a purchase with their personal funds, it is not tax exempt, even if it would be reimbursed by the university. The university will reimburse sales tax paid by an individual (particularly for travel-related expenses). Anyone who plans to use a PCard should have the Ohio blanket tax exemption and city of Columbus tax exemption forms ready to present at checkout. Those two documents are available in the Nov. 17 all-Extension message sent by Jared Morrison. Click here for the Hilton hotel linkClick here for the Hyatt hotel link.
