Instructions and Recommendations
ALL Workshop and Seminar registrants must also be registered for the full conference experience.
Please pay CLOSE ATTENTION to the DAY and TIME of the workshops you are selecting. Make a list of workshops and times offered that you are interested in taking for each day so that you have your alternative choices right in front of you as you are completing the form.
If a workshop is sold out, you will see an opportunity appear to place yourself on the waitlist for that course. Waitlisted spots are free, but there is no guarantee of spots coming available.
Please keep in mind we have some sessions that are occurring on Tuesday, April 23, 2019. Do not register for a course on Tuesday if you already purchased your plane ticket for arrival in Nashville Tuesday afternoon! The Sheraton Music City also has limited rooms available for us on Monday, April 22, 2019. Make sure you have a room if needed before adding a Tuesday workshop session.
The General Registration fee is required for all attendees who have not previously registered.
Pre-Registrants can add a Mosaic Art Salon participation reservation, Tours, Workshops & Seminars and Guest Tickets to your Conference registration without purchasing a General Registration.
If you are anxious about not getting into a workshop or on a tour of choice, first and foremost, BREATHE! While there are several workshops with low admissions availability, the 2019 Education Series offers 44 workshop sessions, spread over THREE DAYS with an additional 2 tours. We do not expect sessions to sell out quickly, so if your internet connection is slow, or you are still undecided, chances are, you will be able to find availability in a course that will provide you great value and an incredible conference experience!
