Please take a moment to review the following registration policies and procedures to avoid any delays in your registration processing for the 2010 Annual Summit.
Registration
Registration for the NANPA Annual Nature Photography Summit includes general sessions, breakout sessions, entry to the Exhibit Hall, conference materials, lunches on Wednesday and Thursday, the NANPA Awards Luncheon Celebration on Friday, and receptions on Tuesday and Thursday. One-day registrations will receive the aforementioned events for that day only.
Several events require separate registration. They are the Post-Summit Workshops and the Portfolio and Editorial Reviews. The fees for these events are listed on the registration form.
Registration fees are based on your membership status with NANPA. Your membership must be current or in process before you may receive the member registration rates. You may join or renew at the same time you register for the meeting.
To Register Online registration is easy at www.nanpa.org. If you prefer to register by mail, download and print the pdf form from the website. Be sure to print or type and complete all sections of the registration form. One form per registrant—photocopy or print as needed. Please, no phone registrations.
Please indicate your breakout session preferences and whether you will attend the Outreach Event so we can arrange for appropriately sized rooms. Tickets will not be issued for these sessions and seating is on a first-come, first-served basis. Tickets will be issued for the Post-Summit Workshops and are required for admittance. Many workshops have a limited capacity. Register early to ensure your participation.
Students―you must register by mail. Please download and print the registration form from the website and include a copy of your student identification in order to receive the student registration rate. If you are under 18 years of age, a parent must sign the parent/guardian consent on the registration form.
