We hope you discover sessions that inspire new ideas, strengthen connections, and energize you to join us for this year’s conference.

Please review the information below before proceeding to the registration page:

  1. All registered attendees will receive virtual login information in a final confirmation email on Friday, September 11, 2026. For accurate event space planning, please select the in-person attendee option if you plan to join us in Bismarck for any portion of the conference.
  2. After submitting the registration form, you will be prompted to submit payment via debit or credit card. Please have your payment information ready, as registration cannot be completed until payment is entered.
  3. A confirmation email, including your payment receipt, will be sent immediately after registration is completed. Please verify that your email address is entered correctly on both the registration page and the payment screen.
  4. If you completed the registration form and clicked “Submit,” but did not enter payment information or receive a confirmation email, please click here to follow the steps needed to complete your registration a second time.
  5. To support North Dakota’s peer support workforce, a reduced conference rate is available for North Dakota Peer Support Specialists. To determine eligibility, please complete the required application. Approved applicants will receive a one-time-use discount code by email, reducing the three-day conference registration fee to $75.
    • Do not submit your registration until you have received and applied your peer support discount code (if applicable), as you will otherwise be charged the full registration amount.
  6. If you have been provided a discount code, please select the appropriate Registration Type on the attendee registration form, enter your code, and click “Apply Discount.” Before submitting your registration, confirm that the discounted amount appears correctly in the green discount code line AND on the payment screen. If the amount does not appear correctly or you receive an error message, do not proceed with payment.
