Registration will close on the 30th or when 1,800 participants are registered, which ever comes first. Please keep this in mind and register early! Classes fill up quickly.
Please use one form per registrant and be sure to fill out both sides of the form and indicate your class choices clearly on the second side of the sheet.
Online- Registering online will save you money! The full registration form is cheaper when you register online, not to mention it is quick and easy to use. While utilizing our online option, you must pay by credit card and provide your e-mail address. Please do not mail or fax your registration if you have already registered online. Once you click "submit," a confirmation letter will immediately appear. This is your receipt and lists the classes you have chosen. You should print this letter and bring it with you to Symposium. There will be no other e-mail confirmation sent unless you request changes be made to your classes. If this letter does not appear, you have not been successfully registered and must try again. Please visit www.vdh.virginia.gov/oems to register online. There will also be a copy of this letter in your packet at the Symposium.
