2009 Conference Program - Child Life Council

Registration Information
Register for the conference online by the early registration
deadline of March 16, 2009 for the best rates. The deadline
for pre-registration is April 17, 2009, 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. To avoid disappointment, we
highly recommend that you pre-register well in advance of the
conference.
Complete registration information is available on the gray
insert in this program.
Room Monitors
Room monitors are conference attendees who volunteer to
assist with a series of important tasks at the beginning of a
conference session. They assist speakers by distributing
hand-outs (if applicable), checking on audio/visual set-up,
and if necessary, checking off registrants as they arrive. If
you are interested, please indicate the session you would like
to monitor on your registration form.
