I didn’t realize that the registration was already closed. I will be attending and want to do the A.I. Classes. Are there still slots available? If so, what will the onsite rate be?
Hi Teresa–As far as I know, signing up for the AI classes at the Annual Convention registration office is fine. I’ll let you know if I find out otherwise. The rates are included on the Registration Form PDF on this page for “after 10/02/19.”
Hi again–I just confirmed there is no problem signing up at the convention, but you should come with your own AI kit. If you don’t have one, I’m sure one of the vendors such as BIO-Genics will have what you need.
This will be my first time attending, and I am unsure about the registration – is this what is needed to get into the convention? I was hoping to come for Thursday and Friday – can I still register when I get there on Thursday or does it have to be done at the beginning of the week? I also was interested in a class that has a fee associated with it (LA on Friday – although I am planning to only audit) – is it too late to sign up for those classes as well?
Hi Kari–Registration will be available at Annual Convention each day in the Quiet Bar from approximately 8:00 am to 5:00 pm. Registration is necessary for attending the workshops. Registration at the convention should be adequate for auditing the Linear Appraisal workshop. It will be held at an off-site location. You can find all the rates on the registration PDF form on this page.
Thank you David for the good information! I’ll download the PDF.
What if we only wish to attend saturday of the judges training conference as an auditor? is there a 1 day option?
Hi Nicholas–Currently there is only the one $175.00 fee to audit the ADGA Judges Training Conference, not a daily rate.
Hi again Nicholas–I wanted to clarify that if you are attending a fee-based class such as the Judges TC, there would be the class rate plus the convention rate for whatever days you are attending.
never done this before i am a member can family come or is it just the member??
Hi Diane–ADGA Membership is not required to attend Annual Convention. Family members can attend so long as they are registered for the events they will be participating in.
I downloaded the application to look at the prices and noticed a conflicts of the times for AI classes. The advanced AI class is showing on the application for Thursday from 8-12 and one of the hands on slots also has that time listed. I assume the advanced AI class time is incorrect as on the website schedule that is listed for Weds 1-5 pm. Just wanted to let you know so you could correct that. Also, is there anywhere to find a description for intro vs. advanced AI?
Thank you Nancy. That change on the registration form was missed in one of the previous schedule changes. The registration form is being changed to reflect the Advanced AI class on Wednesday afternoon rather than Thursday morning.
Regarding the AI classes presented by Bio-Genics, we don’t have a description other than what is provided on their website: http://www.biogenicsltd.com/clinics.html You could contact Bio-Genics at: contactus@biogenicsltd.com
Thank you.
Is there a daily charge for the BOD meetings if you do not attend any other activities on those days?
Hi Lori–Good question! No, there is no charge for only attending the Board of Directors meetings if no other activities are being attended. A meal also can be attended with only signing up for that meal and not attending the workshops.
Hello David,
I successfully registered for the convention online (using Chrome). However, it would not let me select/add to my cart the same 3-day option when I tried to register my husband. I cleared my browser history and restarted my computer, but it still did not allow me that selection. Not a big deal because I have downloaded the .pdf and will mail it. Just wanted you to be aware of the issue that I experienced. Thanks!
Thank you Rhonda. Your comment has been forwarded to support@adga.org to create an ADGA Customer Support ticket.
I can’t get the online registration to come up at all, should I just mail my registration in?
Hi Kimberlee–If you’re using Google Chrome on a desktop computer going to https://adga.org/member-services/convention-entry/ and registration is not working for you, yes, use the PDF form. Also, please submit a support ticket to support@adga.org describing the problem.
Where do I find details & costs of classes before I look to register
Hi Nina–You can download the Annual Convention Registration Form PDF file, also available on this page and it has all the rates.
If I have a youth that would like to participate for the full week, how do I register her?
There will be an option to register a youth for the full week at $245.00 for the early registration rate.
Thank you
Is there someone I can call to find out what the price is for Ai classes?
Hi Tierra–The AI classes will be $45 for the Basic and $45 for the Advanced.
So just that I get this straight;
the $50.00 daily fee plus a min. of $25.00 for any workshop that you want to visit?
Hi Kimberly–The $50/day fee is only for registration by the day. There are slightly cheaper rates per day for 3 consecutive days or the full week. Most workshops are free with your registration. The 7-8 workshops on the schedule with a * indicate that there is a fee, and those range from $10-$75. Registration will be available by September 18 and will show all the options.
Is there a daily price for those of us that cannot attend the whole week?
Yes, the daily registration fee is going to be $50/day. Three consecutive days with no meals will be $120.
When will convention registration be available?
We’re working on finalizing the schedule and registration dates this week. The final schedule should be available sometime next week. We should have an estimate for the online convention registration by then as well.
What if someone only wants to go for the saturday stuff…particularly the spotlight sale? Also, is there some kind of dress code for the spotlight sale? the pic Ive seen looks kinda fancy.
There will be a one-day registration fee. While there isn’t a specific dress code, most people dress at least business casual for the Spotlight Sale and other Annual Convention evening events.
What is the cost
The convention registration for 2019 isn’t available yet, but the full week should be somewhere around $300 plus hotel reservations.
Any idea of extra costs for workshops?
Yes, the Artificial Insemination Basic and Advanced are $45 each for early registration. The felting workshops are $75 each and all others will be $25 or less.
