In order to register, you will be required to review and accept the DEI Code of Conduct for the 2022 GARD Conference. 

During registration, you will have the opportunity to sign up for workshops and field trips, so please review options, costs, and dates prior to registering.  You also will be able to pre-order 2022 GARD merchandise (shirts, tumblers, etc) during registration, which we encourage.  Only a limited number of merchandise items will be available for purchase at the conference. 

If you need assistance with family care during the conference, you will have the opportunity to indicate dates, times and number of children when registering. 

If you need financial assistance to participate in GARD 2022 virtually or in-person, you are welcome to apply for a participation/travel grant.  The deadline for application is 13 May 2022.  NOTE: Participation grant recipients should register (under the appropriate category above) and they will be reimbursed at the conference.
