Partner, Premier Partner, and Platinum Partner Institutional Members get a special group rate of $75.

We have expanded the definition of “group” to include those institutions that are part of a regional group, not just those that have many employees and an auditorium. When you sign up as a group, you are no longer limited to a single internet connection and one location to view the conference.

If your organization works with multiple history institutions and you sign up at the Multiple Login Rate, you can now forward the link for the Online Conference to those institutions so they can view it from their individual sites, all for one low price.

Participants will have free access to all session handouts, online recordings, and other podcasts for six months after the broadcast.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tab][/vc_tabs][/vc_column][/vc_row]
