Substitutions are permitted; however, notification must be received in writing with the subject line, “Conference Substitution.” In the body of your email, send the name of the original registrant and the name of the person substituting to R9HSA at headstartr9@region9hsa.org by the registration deadline. Substitutions can also be made on-site at the conference registration desk. All changes including name updates and editing information can be done onsite. If someone is coming to replace a pre-registered attendee they will sign for the items of the pre-registered attendee and R9HSA will then make them a new badge onsite.

Please note: Each registration is for a single person and cannot be split between multiple attendees.

Payment is due within 30 days of registering.
