Two Heads are Better Than One
With so much to absorb, having an extra pair of ears around is not a bad idea. We have arranged it so that when one person from your organization registers, all subsequent colleagues from the same organization may register at a $100 discount. Member and nonmember rates apply. To take advantage of this offer call the SHCA National Office at (312) 422-3700 and ask for the ‘colleague rate’.



Payment Deadlines
Save when you register by February 24, 2012. To receive your badge and pre-registration materials, register by April 1, 2012. Forms received without payment will not be processed. Please photocopy the registration form to register additional attendees. (One form per attendee.) After April 1, 2012 you may register onsite.

You will receive an electronic confirmation of your registration. If you have not received a confirmation within 5 business days after registering, please contact SHCA at

Cancellation/Refund Policy
All registration cancellations and refund requests must be made in writing by April 1, 2012.
