Registration Policies
Instructions and Tips for Registration
Please read carefully as you will be required to initial that you have read, understand, and agree to these policies on the registration page.
- When creating your group registration, please register one adviser for every 12 students. We require one adviser, principal, or school staff member per 12 students.
- Please register all students at the time you create your group. Adding only an adviser’s name does not guarantee seats for your students. Seats are limited, and this conference sells out quickly.
- If paying by check, you must click “Check to Follow” on the payment page, so we know you plan to attend.
- All payments must be received by Tuesday, December 1, 2026.
- Attendance is not confirmed for your group until payment has been received.
SUBSTITUTIONS AND BADGE REPRINTS POLICY
- Substitutions needed after February 5, 2027, must be requested by email at [email protected]. Please send the substitution information as soon as possible so we have time to update the registration and prepare the badge.
- Substitutions made on site will incur a $25.00 fee per substitution.
- Badge reprints made on site will incur a $25.00 fee. If a student or adviser goes by a nickname, please enter it when registering the attendee—this helps us print badges correctly the first time.
REGISTRATION POLICY
- Registration closes on Monday, January 11, 2027, or when the conference reaches capacity, whichever comes first.
- Cancelled registrations are not eligible for a refund. If a registrant cannot attend, you may substitute another student or adviser by logging in to their registration before February 5, 2027.
Event Security Protocol
- The safety of our attendees is a top priority. LEAD operates under a comprehensive emergency action plan developed in coordination with the Washington Hilton. The hotel also provides on-site security, established emergency procedures, and clear communication protocols with local authorities. Conference and hotel staff are available throughout the event to respond to safety or security concerns. For any safety and security questions, please contact the Events Team at [email protected].
