Registration will open February 2013.  Once registration opens, the deadlines will be posted along with the prices and details.  To receive registration updates (and ensure you don’t miss out on any special offers), be sure to subscribe to conference emails (at the bottom of the page).

In order to sit for the exam at the conference, you must submit your HNCB application by no later than March 15, 2013.  You will also need to pay for the board exam proctor fee as part of your conference registration.  Then all you have to do is study!

For the first time, NANP will offer a spouse/guest registration for our Saturday Reception and Dinner.  You will be able to purchase tickets for your guest during your registration.

All professional sessions are closed to registered attendees only.  For the comfort and benefit of you and the other attendees, children are NOT allowed in any of the sessions.  The Hilton Concierge will be able to help you arrange babysitting to make your conference experience more relaxed.

The 2012 Conference sold out at 250 attendees.  We expect at least that many people this year, if not much more.  Space is still limited – be sure to register early to reserve your spot.

Yes.  There is a charge for WiFi use in the meeting space but you will have free access in your guest room.  We recommend that you download all presentations to your computers, ipads or other device prior to the sessions to ensure you can easily access all the documents during the presentations.

Aside from your eagerness to learn, be sure to bring something to take notes on/with and plenty of business cards to share with vendors and other attendees.  You may also want to pre-print presentation slides or load them on your computer/device.

The general attire is business casual.  The Saturday Reception & Dinner is a nice event and we encourage you to dress in a semi-cocktail type of attire, although there is no required dress code.

Bring a light sweater or jacket.  We will have outdoor functions and while Southern California is warm in the sun, it can cool down a good bit in the evening.  Additionally, the meeting space will often be quite cool.

We understand how expensive conferences can be by the time you travel to the city, book a hotel room and pay for your conference registration.  This year, we have added an Attendee Forum to help you connect with other conference attendees.  Try searching or posting about sharing rides with people from your area or a room at the hotel.

Another option is to consider volunteering at the conference.  We have a very limited number of spots available to volunteers but if you are interested, please contact us.  We will be interviewing those who demonstrate the most need and the willingness to help.  By volunteering, you will not be able to attend all the sessions.  The discount you receive is prorated based on the number of hours you volunteer and is given as a refund at the completion of your commitment.

The conference schedule is packed full of events, both during the day and in the evening.  We have added events on both Friday and Saturday nights that will likely take up most of your evening.  The conference does end in the afternoon on Sunday so you will have Sunday evening should you choose to stay in the area.

If you are interested in touring San Diego, we recommend that you book your travel arrangements a couple days before or after the conference to fully enjoy the area.  The NANP group rate of $109/night is valid 3 days before and 3 days after the conference.  The Hilton San Diego Del Mar Concierge, Jennifer, is very helpful and is happy to give you some information about the area and places you may want to visit.
