After the Speech: Sign up for hands on sessions with our Keynotes!

Both speakers are offering workshops after their keynote presentations.

We will happily process the purchase order for your district by providing an invoice. AENJ will accept the Purchase Order from your school as a promise of payment for registration. For most school districts the process can take some time and is as follows:
- Teacher/Administrator requests a PO to attend the conference or other event.
- The PO is created and approved and then sent to our Treasurer at our remittance address by USPS or via email.
At this point, your registration is confirmed and you are cleared to attend. You can come to the registration line and pick up your packet.
- The Treasurer will sign the PO (if required by the district) and mail it back with our AENJ invoice.
- Upon their receipt of the invoice and signed PO the district mails a check to our remittance address. We will accept district checks on-site at the conference upon educator check-in at our registration booth.To ensure smooth processing, POs must be received at least [5–7 days / 1 week] prior to the event. If sent after this window, please bring a printed copy of the approved PO to the registration desk on-site.
(Please keep in mind our remittance address will change when the Treasurer position changes hands.)
