BIG UPDATE!

The TIENetwork Conference planning team met tonight, and after some feedback, we decided to drastically cut the registration cost for our conference! This is in hopes that it creates more accessibility! Everything will remain the same about the conference, just the cost.

All participants will get full access to every recorded session from the conference! This will be over 30 hours of professional learning for only $169 early bird and $199 after March 1st!

If you already registered, we will refund you the difference between the new cost!
