Registration Fees and Conference Events

Attendees

Registration fees include all General and Breakout Sessions, Support & Recovery Roundtable Series, Buddy Program, Friday and Saturday breakfasts, lunches and refreshment breaks, all session materials and all free conference social functions for the days you are registered to attend.

General Attendee registrations include all of the conference programming and events noted above, for one attendee.

Family Package registrations are designed to make the NEDA Conference a valuable learning opportunity for those affected and their loved ones. We understand that it is critical for everyone involved in supporting a loved one through an eating disorder to have accurate information and the opportunity to connect with others who have been through similar experiences. The primary registrant for each group will be charged the current conference registration rate, and they can then add up to five family members at a discounted rate.

Volunteer registration rates are waived in order to acknowledge the indispensable assistance of NEDA’s conference volunteers. NEDA accepts a limited number of volunteers to assist with various onsite tasks. Please visit our Volunteer page for more information.

Students may use the code STUDENT2016 for a $30 registration discount. A valid student ID is required upon check-in. Please note that only one discount code is accepted per registrant.

Scholarships are available, on a limited basis, to cover the cost of registration. Please visit our Scholarships page for information on how to apply.

Exhibitors

The primary booth staff’s registration fee is included in the price of your exhibit booth. You may register one additional exhibit booth staff for $385. All additional registrants will be charged the current general attendee rate. Visit our Exhibitors & Sponsors page for exhibitor registration instructions and details.

Conference Events
